PEM generated by gnutls_rsa_params_export_pkcs1 and gnutls_dh_params_import_pkcs3

The buffer size return value from gnutls_dh_params_import_pkcs3(), when 
specifying GNUTLS_X509_FMT_PEM, seems to include a trailing \0 byte, after 
"-----END DH PARAMETERS-----<NL>". On the other hand, 
gnutls_rsa_params_export_pkcs1() with GNUTLS_X509_FMT_PEM sets the returned 
buffer size to not include any trailing \0, after "-----END RSA PRIVATE 
KEY-----<NL>".

That's the behavior I've observed with 2.0.4; and I haven't yet built 2.4.0. 
If that's the case, I'm not really sure if it's a major issue, but perhaps 
this should be noted in the man pages.

Yes, with this patch gnutls_dh_params_import_pkcs3() no longer produces the 
trailing null byte.
