kstart 3.16 released

[Russ Allbery]

I'm pleased to announce release 3.16 of kstart.

k4start, k5start, and krenew are modified versions of kinit which add
support for running as a daemon to maintain a ticket cache, running a
command with credentials from a keytab and maintaining a ticket cache
until that command completes, obtaining AFS tokens (via an external aklog)
after obtaining tickets, and creating an AFS PAG for a command.  They are
primarily useful in conjunction with long-running jobs; for moving ticket
handling code out of servers, cron jobs, or daemons; and to obtain tickets
and AFS tokens with a single command.

Changes from previous release:

    Add the -L option to k5start and krenew, saying to log messages to
    syslog as well as standard output or standard error.

    Correctly set the ticket cache path in k5start when the -k option was
    not given, fixing a NULL pointer dereference when the -o, -g, or -m
    options were given without -k.  Thanks, Garrett Wollman.

    Allow the argument to -k to start with FILE: and strip off that prefix
    to form the ticket cache name.  -k still forces its argument to be a
    file-based cache, however; FILE: is the only cache type designator
    supported.  Use the KRB5CCNAME environment variable for other ticket
    cache types.

    k5start and krenew now say, in -h output, if they will attempt to
    create a new AFS PAG for commands run in combination with -t (enabled
    by --enable-setpag), allowing one to determine whether that support
    was compiled in.

    Include the proper header for signal handling functions, fixing a
    build problem on Solaris 9.  Thanks, Tim Bishop.

    Avoid Heimdal functions marked as deprecated.  Also fix the test suite
    to pass with Heimdal user space.

    Update to rra-c-util 2.2:

    * Add GCC function attributes alloc_size, malloc, and nonnull.
    * Use AC_TYPE_LONG_LONG_INT instead of AC_CHECK_TYPES([long long]).
