Protoype of kerberos support (non parameterized with TODOs)

Just a quick note; the token can be null if the negotiation has already been successfully completed. I suspect the right thing to do is to do something like:

if (inToken === 'oRQwEqADCgEAoQsGCSqGSIb3EgECAg==') {
  return; // negotiation successful, no need to do anything further.
}

see: https://github.com/jcmturner/gokrb5/blob/master/spnego/http.go#L198 for where that magic string came from.

@brianc We'd ideally like to get this merged and released through the main package. Could you let us know what the procedure would be? There's unfortunately not a lot of documentation for this flow, and it's not well trodden.

I can do that! Its very easy on my side to release new versions. Ideally all features should have tests along side them. I realize testing against a kerberos system is.... unpleasant ... do you have any way you could include tests? Even the pg-protocol stuff typically ships with unit tests. Its very high likelyhood without tests sometime within the next 10 years this code will change and/or break without them.

@albertchang note also: CI is running on this PR now & lint is failing

Cool, I'll try to take a stab at writing some tests for this change and circle back afterwards. Thanks!

Also, is CI not configured to run automatically on changes to the branch?

Boo i need to set that up. having to keep re-approving it is no bueno!

@brianc Could you approve the workflow run for CI? Thanks!
