In the current Heimdal implementation the krb5_kt_resolve function
obtains a reference and the reference is removed when the krb5_kt_close
function is called. 

At this point we have agreed that keytabs should work like ccaches. 
Therefore, we will add destroy and gen_new functions.
Heimdal will change its implementation to match the agreed upon
behavior.  Applications that rely on the existing Heimdal behavior will
have to be updated.
