Stop checking the current time against the context expiration time in
the message wrap/unwrap functions in the krb5 GSS mech.  Heimdal
doesn't do it, and it generally results in poor app behavior when a
ticket expires.  In exchange, it doesn't provide much security benefit
since it's not enforced across the board--for example, ssh sessions
can persist beyond ticket expiration time since they don't use GSS to
wrap payload data.
