third_party/heimdal: import lorikeet-heimdal-202210310104 (commit 0fc20ff4144973047e6aaaeb2fc8708bd75be222)
This commit won't compile on it's own, as we need to fix the build system to cope in the next commit. The purpose of this commit is to update to a new lorikeet-heimdal tree that includes the previous two patches and is rebased on a current Heimdal master snapshot.

to the server side. The idea is to save the authenticators sent during
the last few minutes, so that @var{B} can detect when someone is trying
to retransmit an already used message. This is somewhat impractical
-(mostly regarding efficiency), and is not part of Kerberos 4; MIT
-Kerberos 5 contains it.
+(mostly regarding performance); MIT Kerberos 5 has a replay cache,

+However, most GSS-API applicatons do not need a replay cache at all.
To authenticate @var{B}, @var{A} might request that @var{B} sends
something back that proves that @var{B} has access to the session
