KDC canon test and GSSAPI

Hi Andrew,

I've wondered why we are using gensec_krb5 and not gensec_gssapi in the KDC 
canon tests. I didn't see a reason in the code why we need gensec_krb5 so I 
just replaced it with gensec_gssapi and it works.

Just the test which compares enterprise principals fails, but that test is 
wrong. Enterprise principals are used in AS-REQs and are canonicalized. On the 
server when they got processed and we call gss_accept_sec_context() it doesn't 
matter anymore. We can't expect that the principal comes out unmodified here.

So we I think we should compare it unescaped to get rid of gensec_krb5.
