[krbdev.mit.edu #1352] Cannot return prot_ready without unwrap working

Hi.  I actually think our implementation is wrong to set the
prot_ready flag before context establishment is complete.  If it sets
that flag then both gss_wrap and gss_unwrap need to work.  However
gss_unwrap cannot work because the sequence state is not yet
initialized.


I'm also not sure that RFC 1964 allows this behavior; I don't think
having inconsistent support for prot_ready between implementations is
a good idea.


Why do you need this for SPNEGO?  You don't have to generate the
meclistmic until after the underlying mechanism has returned complete.
