Petr Viktorin 1f831393a2 ipa-client-install: Obtain host TGT from one specific KDC
When clients install, they use kinit to obtain a TGT, which uses DNS to find
the KDC to connect to. It might happen that the newly created principal
has not replicated to selected KDC yet, making kinit fail and aborting the
install.

The client sets a temporary krb5 config file while installing via $KRB5_CONFIG.
Modify this file so that the kerberos library only uses the specific server
we're installing under, and call kinit while it's still in place.

Clean up the configure_krb5_conf function to remove unused arguments. For
clarity, use keyword arguments when calling it.

Code to be installed on any client that wants to be in an IPA domain.

Mostly consists of a tool for Linux systems that will help configure the
client so it will work properly in a kerberized environment.

It also includes several ways to configure Firefox to do single sign-on.

The two methods on the client side are:

1. globalsetup.sh. This modifies the global Firefox installation so that
   any profiles created will be pre-configured.

2. usersetup.sh. This will update a user's existing profile.

The downside of #1 is that an rpm -V will return a failure. It will also
need to be run with every update of Firefox.

One a profile contains the proper preferences it will be unaffected by
upgrades to Firefox. 

The downside of #2 is that every user would need to run this each time they
create a new profile.

There is a third, server-side method. See ipa-server/README for details.
