Update Information:

This update adds some proposed and backported fixes to the package.  Notable changes include:
* factoring in the KDC's notion of the current time when specifying the desired credential lifetime when obtaining initial credentials (proposed, #961221)
* making the library actually use an empty string that's passed in when an API calls for a password (backported, #960001)
* correctly checking the list of transited realms when a GSSAPI acceptor application is used by a client from a different realm, when there is one or more realm in between them (RT#7639)
* not insisting on communicating only with master KDCs if the client found itself communicating with one while chasing referrals while obtaining initial credentials (backported, #969331)
