It's a bit strange that you set the CUSTOM_P11_CONFIG NAME and then setting the config variant property would actually changes the config file to a different name.

When `CUSTOM_P11_CONFIG_VARIANT` is set, `CUSTOM_P11_CONFIG_NAME`'s meaning becomes something like "base configuration file name".

These two changes will hopefully reduce the weirdness of the `CUSTOM_P11_CONFIG_NAME`/`CUSTOM_P11_CONFIG_VARIANT` combination.  I will also document the existing `CUSTOM_P11_CONFIG_NAME` versus `CUSTOM_P11_CONFIG` precedence since that might also be surprising when both are set.

Done.  See what you think.  I am still open to other options.  One idea I played around with was adding a `CONFIG_P11_CONFIG_BASE_NAME` that is just part of the file name, say `p11-nss` by default.  Then in `getNssConfig` the file name could be built from the base and variant strings, instead of by changing the name.  Conceptually that might be clearer but I think it would be a more invasive change given that the existing code deals with file names.  And, having experimented with it, I think the new exception you suggested will make it fairly obvious what to fix if someone hits a missing configuration file.
