    Prevent KDC unset status assertion failures
    
    Assign status values if S4U2Self padata fails to decode, if an
    S4U2Proxy request uses invalid KDC options, or if an S4U2Proxy request
    uses an evidence ticket which does not match the canonicalized request
    server principal name.  Reported by Samuel Cabrero.
    
    If a status value is not assigned during KDC processing, default to
    "UNKNOWN_REASON" rather than failing an assertion.  This change will
    prevent future denial of service bugs due to similar mistakes, and
    will allow us to omit assigning status values for unlikely errors such
    as small memory allocation failures.
    
    CVE-2017-11368:
    
    In MIT krb5 1.7 and later, an authenticated attacker can cause an
    assertion failure in krb5kdc by sending an invalid S4U2Self or
    S4U2Proxy request.
