Kai Engert bd89e46882 Bug 1399100, temporarily expose an NSPR helper function, only for Firefox 57, feedback+=mcmanus, r=fkiefer

This is an exception from the usual NSPR release upgrade process and essentially an agreed temporary fork, which will be undone for Firefox 58.
This change isn't causing any harm, because the temporary API is used only for Windows, and only accessed using dynamic symbol lookup, so it will not cause any issue on operating systems that use a system-wide install copy of NSPR without the symbol.
