Feature: Support client outside domain

Until now, all clients had to be part of Kerberos domain as authentication
was done by mod_auth_kerb module of httpd by using Kerberos Ticket bundled
with the request.

To suport clients residing outside domain, we introduce a configurable option
called "auth_mode". When auth_mode is set to 'passive', a client residing
outside domain can authenticate itself by sending username(X-Auth-User) and
password(X-Auth-Key) as request headers. This information is gleaned from the
request and kinit is run against it. A successful kinit means the username
and password exists on the Kerberos server.
