    Fix trivial KDC memory leak with test KDB module
    
    If a KDB module zeroes out the master key in its fetch_master_key()
    method (as the test KDB module does), krb5_db_fetch_mkey() will copy
    it, allocating one byte of memory for the contents.  The KDC will then
    leak it on exit, as the length is zero.  Simplify master key
    destruction using zapfree().
