[krbdev.mit.edu #8545] Use fallback realm in ccache selection

When we added referral support, we divided the host-to-realm facilities 
into authoritative (such as [domain_realm] configuration) and fallback 
(such as uppercasing the parent domain).  Authoritative results are used 
prior to referrals, while fallback results are used only after we try to 
get a referral from the local KDC.

ccache selection via krb5_cc_select() cannot make use of referrals 
because we haven't yet chosen what ccache to use for the TGS request.  
So it probably makes sense to use the fallback realm when selecting the 
ccache.
