    Fix KDC reply service principal for aliases
    
    If a client requests a service ticket for the alias of a service
    principal, RFC 6806 section 6 requires that the KDC issue a ticket
    which appears to be for the alias and not for the canonical name.
    After calling search_sprinc(), only replace request->server with
    server->princ if the latter is a TGT; this will be the case for an
    alternate cross-realm TGT or a host referral, but not for a simple
    service alias.
