    Try harder to make keytab-based AS requests work
    
    When making a keytab-based AS request, a client has to choose between
    sending its reply key enctype preference list (the enctypes it has in
    the keytab) and its session key enctype preference list (all of the
    enctypes it supports).  Heimdal and MIT krb5 1.11 clients send the
    reply key preference list.  If this list doesn't overlap with the
    server principal keys (say, because the krbtgt principal has only a
    DES key), then the AS request will fail.
    
    Try to make this work by making the KDC optimistically pick the first
    permitted enctype in the request as the session key, even though it
    can't be certain that other KDCs in the realm support that enctype.
    
    Make sure to exercise this case in t_keytab.py by doing a multipass
    keytab kinit test.
