    Fix invalid JSON handling in KDC OTP module
    
    If the OTP configuration for a principal contains invalid JSON, the
    KDC OTP module calls k5_json_get_tid on a null pointer, causing the
    KDC process to crash.  Fix this bug by checking the return value of
    k5_json_decode in decode_config_json.
