    Allow gss_unwrap_iov() of unpadded RC4 tokens
    
    Windows Remote Management, when used with an RC4 session key, appears
    to generate GSS wrap tokens with no padding instead of the expected
    one byte (RFC 4757 section 7.3).  These tokens cannot be decoded with
    gss_unwrap() or a STREAM buffer (even with Microsoft SSPI), but SSPI
    allows them to be decoded using explicit IOVs with either a
    zero-length padding buffer or no padding buffer.  Allow these cases to
    work in kg_fixup_padding_iov().  (It is already possible to make this
    work with HEADER | DATA | DATA, but only by
    accident--kg_fixup_padding_iov() doesn't find a data buffer because
    kg_locate_iov() only looks for singleton buffers, so it exits early.)
