Add a new fallback host-to-realm heuristic to try the components of the
hostname as domains. The heuristic is off by default and is controlled by the realm_try_domains variable under libdefaults. Based on a patch submitted by Mark Phalan from Sun. ticket: 6031 git-svn-id: svn://anonsvn.mit.edu/krb5/trunk@21588 dc483132-0cff-0310-8789-dd5450dbe970
