<!-- Add a description of the new feature/bug fix. Reference any relevant bugs. -->

This is a clone of !2009 with minor cleanups:

* tests/psk-file: Add testing for _credentials2 functions

Adds testing for gnutls_psk_allocate_X_credentials2() functions for
server and client.

* lib/psk: add null check for binder algo

Currently, `pskcred->binder_algo` is used without checking first if it
is valid. This can lead to a NULL pointer dereference in cases such as
[1]. This patch adds NULL check `pskcred->binder_algo` before using it.

This also makes it more explicit in
gnutls_psk_allocate_server_credentials2() that `pskcred->binder_algo
== NULL` indicates auto-detection, while avoiding the linear lookup
for a NULL entry.
