Prevent requires_preauth bypass [CVE-2015-2694]

In the OTP kdcpreauth module, don't set the TKT_FLG_PRE_AUTH bit until
the request is successfully verified.  In the PKINIT kdcpreauth
module, don't respond with code 0 on empty input or an unconfigured
realm.  Together these bugs could cause the KDC preauth framework to
erroneously treat a request as pre-authenticated.

CVE-2015-2694:

In MIT krb5 1.12 and later, when the KDC is configured with PKINIT
support, an unauthenticated remote attacker can bypass the
requires_preauth flag on a client principal and obtain a ciphertext
encrypted in the principal's long-term key.  This ciphertext could be
used to conduct an off-line dictionary attack against the user's
password.
