    Don't treat local krbtgt principal as referral
    
    If we look up a principal and in the KDB and get back the local TGS
    principal, the KDC should treat this as an alias, not a referral, and
    should therefore issue a ticket for the requested principal rather the
    canonical name.
    
    ticket: 7698
