Fix krb5 GSS MIC verification

Commit 7ae0adcdf16687810f747e284c9fb571a561c5bd contains a pair of
bugs that, in combination, result in the acceptance of MIC tokens with
invalid checksums.

In kg_verify_checksum_v3(), properly set bytes 4..7 to 0xFF in the
composed token header for MIC tokens.  In verify_mic_v3(), properly
check the return value of kg_verify_checksum_v3().  In t_invalid.c,
test invalid MIC tokens by altering the bytes of a valid MIC.

Reported by Francis Dupont.

CVE-2025-57736:

MIT krb5 release 1.22 incorrectly accepts krb5 GSS-API MIC tokens with
invalid checksums.
