[gnutls-devel] GnuTLS | Cleanup and fixes (!779)

[Development of GNU's TLS library]

Tom commented on a discussion on lib/cert-cred-x509.c:

My rationale is the following. At first, this function only added a certificate list and was named correctly. A private key had to be added via a different function. Later on this function was modified such that it adds a certificate list and private key at once (which is good IMHO). Therefore I found it confusing that it is named as if it only adds a certificate list. A certificate contains a public key. As this function now adds both a public key and a private key (i.e. a keypair) I found that ...append_keypair would be a better name. 

Also, because we are going to use this function for adding raw public-keys too I think the better name of the two options is `certificate_credential_append_keypair`. What is your opinion? Shall I update the name or not?
