global: Load configuration after FIPS POST

Anderson Sasaki requested to merge ansasaki/gnutls:postpone_config_loading into master

Add a description of the new feature/bug fix. Reference any relevant bugs.

Load the configuration file after FIPS-140 power-on self-tests is finished. This prevents failures during the self-tests due to algorithms disabled by the configuration file. As a result, any algorithm can be tested during FIPS-140 POST regardless of the configuration file.

Thanks to @dueno for the suggestion.

Fixes #956 (closed)
