This patch addresses the issues raised in this ticket and ticket 5936.

(a) In the case where 'cred_handle' != 'verifier_cred_handle'[1]
krb5_gss_accept_sec_context() leaks the 'cred_handle' in the success
case and the failure cases that result in returning from the function
prior to reaching the end of the function.

(b) The meaningful 'minor_status' return value is destroyed during the
cleanup operations.

The approach taken is to add a new 'exit:' label prior to the end of the
function through which all function returns after reaching the 'fail:'
label will goto.  After 'exit:', the 'cred_handle' will be released and
if there is a krb5_context 'context' to be freed, the error info will be
saved and krb5_free_context() will be called.

In the success case, the krb5_context is saved in the gss context and we
now set 'context' to NULL to prevent it from being freed.

In order to preserve the minor_status return code, a 'tmp_minor_status'
variable is added that is used after the 'fail:' label in calls to
krb5_gss_delete_sec_context() and krb5_gss_release_cred().


[1] If 'verifier_cred_handle' is non-NULL, then 'cred_handle' is set to
the value of 'verifier_cred_handle'.
