bootstrap: refuse to bootstrap if any new dependencies bring gnulib's network stack

Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos requested to merge tmp-enforce-gnulib-rules-for-lib into master

If gnulib's network stack is brought (due to a dependency) in the library it will make the library unusable to non-gnulib using applications. This prevents windows applications for example to use gnutls, and so on. Even more it is quite hard to catch that issue because our testsuite uses gnulib as well. Instead we try to catch the these modules at import time
