Taylor R Campbell 3b0d00c743 New option [libdefaults] socks4a_proxy. ...

All network traffic to KDC goes through the SOCKS4a proxy if it is
configured.

This is deliberately kept simple -- and is not generalized to SOCKS4
or SOCKS5 or other types of proxies -- so it is easy to audit for
network and DNS leaks.  (SOCKS4 works in IP addresses, and so invites
DNS leaks.  SOCKS5 can be OK, if used judiciously, but takes more
work to implement.)

This only affects krb5_sendto -- the other initiator of network
traffic in libkrb5, krb5_change_password, will be fixed to respect
socks4a_proxy in a subsequent commit.

XXX Need to figure out where the socks4a.c code should go.
