   When the kerberos services can't be found in the /etc/services file or
   NIS map, a clearer error than KDC_UNREACH should be returned.

   I added a KRB5_SERVICE_UNKNOWN error code and modified locate_kdc.c to
   use it.

I've added the error code for completeness's sake, but in Beta 4, if the
kerberos services can't be found in the /etc/services file, compiled-in
defaults are used.
