Add non-JSON APIs for PKINIT responder items
Add wrappers for the JSON-oriented APIs for PKINIT responder items, modeled after the API we provide for OTP items: * krb5_responder_pkinit_get_challenge() returns the list of identities for which we need PINs * krb5_responder_pkinit_challenge_free() frees the structure that was returned by krb5_responder_pkinit_get_challenge() * krb5_responder_pkinit_set_answer() sets the answer to the PIN for one of the identities [ghudson@mit.edu: style cleanup; added comment pointing to main body of PKINIT module] ticket: 7680

+PKINIT password or PIN question
+###############################
+
+The :c:macro:`KRB5_RESPONDER_QUESTION_PKINIT` (or ``"pkinit"``) question
+type requests PINs for hardware devices and/or passwords for encrypted
+credentials which are stored on disk, potentially also supplying
+information about the state of the hardware devices. The challenge and
+answer are JSON-encoded strings, but an application can use convenience
+functions to avoid doing any JSON processing itself.
+
+The :c:func:`krb5_responder_pkinit_get_challenge` function decodes the
+challenges into a krb5_responder_pkinit_challenge structure. The
+:c:func:`krb5_responder_pkinit_set_answer` function can be used to
+supply the PIN or password for a particular client credential, and can
+be called multiple times.
