Cap decoding GeneralTime when time_t is 32-bit
In k5_asn1_decode_generaltime(), on platforms with 32-bit time_t only,
yield the maximum possible timestamp value when the result would
exceed it.
This change addresses Windows clients and KDCs using timestamps in the
year 2100 to represent "never". While it is not in general safe to
return the wrong value from an ASN.1 decoding function instead of an
error, 32-bit platforms are increasingly rare, and there no negative
ramifications are known at this time.
