gcrypt-1.4.x and later allow the egd socket path to be set. This patch allows the conf file option to work when building openldap with gnutls on systems that do not have a /dev/random.

Hm, this patch is a silent no-op if the gcrypt function is missing. Currently the randfile option is already documented as being ignored by GNUtls. I would prefer that the behavior is absolutely consistent - either the feature always works or is always ignored. Perhaps we should require gcrypt 1.4 or newer?

Requiring gcrypt-1.4.x or newer is ok with us.
