gssd: Allow GSSAPI to try to acquire credentials first.
GSSAPI can be given a uid number as a special name, and then
gss_acquire_cred() can use the name to try to find credentials for
the user.
Give GSSAPI a chance to do it on its own, then fallback to the classic
method of trolling through the file system to find a credential cache.
This patch uses a little know feature of GSSAPI that permits to acquire
crdentials specifying the user's UID. Normally GSSAPI will simply
perform a getpwuid() call and use the user name to generate a principal name and
then see if it can find a TGT for that principal in the local ccache.
This feature is vital to allow the GSS-Proxy to be able to initiate
crdentials on behalf of rpc.gssd using client keytabs stored in the filsystem.
GSS-Proxy works through an interposer-type plugin (new feature in MIT 1.11)
that allows to intercept all GSSAPI requestes and relay them to a system
daemon via a socket. This daemon (GSS-Proxy) then can perform operations
on behalf of other applications with additional logic.
In the rpc.gssd case the GSS-Proxy daemon allows applications running as
system users to properly access krb5 protected shares by creating a
credential cache on the fly when necessary.
This way all applications that need access to krb5 protected shares do not need
to be taught how to initiate crdentials on their own, nor they need to be
wrapped in additional init scripts like k5start or use wasteful cronjobs to
keep credentials fresh. All is needed is to drop a keytab with the right keys
in a special location on the system and gss-proxy will do the rest.

we can do if this fails, so just log a warning if it does.
Note that this is a one-way conversion. If the user later boots back
into an older kernel, it will have no knowledge of the new database.
In principle, we could create a tool that would walk the clients
table, md5 hash the clientids and create directories in the
v4recovery dir. Doing that automatically would be pretty difficult
however.

nfsdcltrack: add a new "one-shot" program for manipulating the client tracking db
Usermode helper upcalls are all the rage these days for infrequent
upcalls, since they make it rather idiot-proof. No running daemon is
required, so there's really no setup beyond ensuring that the callout
exists and is runnable.
This program adds a callout program to nfs-utils for that purpose. The
storage engine on the backend is identical to the one used by nfsdcld.
This just adds a new frontend for it.
For now, building with --enable-nfsdcltrack gives you both nfsdcld and
nfsdcltrack programs. A later patch will remove nfsdcld altogether.

nfsdcltrack: break out a function to open the database handle
When we add a new usermodehelper upcall program to do the database
access, the existing "init" function will be overkill every time
we start up the program.
Break out the database handle establishment routine into a separate
function that we can call from each upcall command in the one-shot
program.

This is holdover from an earlier version of the code and doesn't really
provide any benefit. Also, mark the topdir and dirname arguments const
since they should never be changed.
