Improve pointer hygiene around gss_display_name
GSSAPI functions are responsible for setting their output parameters on failure. Take greater care to do so in krb5_gss_display_name. The mechglue is generally defensive about initializing variables used as outputs, and not assuming that mechs will set them on failure. Make gssint_convert_name_to_union_name initialize union_name->external_name before calling mech->gss_display_name, so that if the mech's gss_display_name doesn't touch it, we don't free an uninitialized pointer. Either one of these changes prevents an unlikely memory bug which could occur if krb5_gss_init_context fails within krb5_gss_display_name when called from gssint_convert_name_to_union_name. ticket: 7915 (new) target_version: 1.12.2
