The kadm5 system supports relations in kdc.conf that control the admin
database file name and admin database lock file name. If they are not
specified, they default to <dbname>.kadm5 and <dbname>.kadm5.lock.
I now think that it was a mistake to make these values configurable,
and that they should *always* key directly off the dbname. That way,
"the Kerberos database" has only a single name and refers to
everything, just as currently it possibly refers to several DBM files.
This change can be accomplished trivially (and reversibly), if others
agree.
