I can't find anything in our code which would set the HW-AUTHENT ticket
flag for pkinit preauth.  Only SAM preauth appears to do that.

It's theoretically possible for a KDC to have evidence of whether PKINIT
preauth was done with hardware or software private keys, but only with
help from the admin, and we don't have that kind of configuration.
