Add authentication parameters compat_realm and upn_usename for SSPI
These parameters are available for SSPI authentication only, to make it possible to make it behave more like "normal gssapi", while making it possible to maintain compatibility. compat_realm is on by default, but can be turned off to make the authentication use the full Kerberos realm instead of the NetBIOS name. upn_username is off by default, and can be turned on to return the users Kerberos UPN rather than the SAM-compatible name (a user in Active Directory can have both a legacy SAM-compatible username and a new Kerberos one. Normally they are the same, but not always) Author: Christian Ullrich Reviewed by: Robbie Harwood, Alvaro Herrera, me
