Use more randomness for ksu secondary cache names
When generating a suffix to append to a ccache name that will hold the
credentials for a ksu-invoked process, instead of using integers
counting up from 1, use the result of base64-encoding six randomly-
generated octets. Tweak the output alphabet just a bit to avoid using
'+' or '/' in the generated names, the latter of which could really
confuse things.
