As gss_acquire_cred_from() seems to be handled by gssproxy,
I guess we need a wrapper in lib/krb5_wrap/gss_samba.[ch]
that uses gss_acquire_cred_from() if available and
gss_krb5_import_cred() otherwise.

And that wrapper needs to be used everywhere we currently
use gss_krb5_import_cred(). It should also hide the mess
we currently use in gse_init_server() to work arround
the broken gss_krb5_import_cred() server side.
