The gnutls 3.5.6 release changed the format is used to report the
x509 DN field, breaking the virnettlssession test suite. This
will also break anyone using the x509 whitelist config parameter
in libvirtd.conf.

I've discussed it here:

  https://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnutls-devel/2016-November/008224.html

and its likely that a new gnutls release will revert the changes,
thus fixing libvirt.

I've temporaraily downgraded gnutls on the CI machines to avoid us
hitting the bug in 3.5.6 (via excludepkgs in /etc/yum.repo.d/rawhide.repo)

Regards,
Daniel
