METRON-896: Document Having Kerberos Issue Renewable Tickets
## Contributor Comments
Added a couple lines to the doc about setting up tickets as renewable, if
they aren't already.
See:
https://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-1.12/doc/admin/conf_files/kdc_conf.html,
specifically max_renewable_life may have to be set to a nonzero value.
Interestingly, full dev doesn't care, but an actual (non-AWS) cluster did care.
I'm guessing this is related to some version or OS differences or something,
but I'm not entirely sure.
Also added a couple lines to both manual and full dev docs about how to
verify a ticket is renewable, and how to modify the principals to add the
appropriate flags if needed.
Given that it's potentially a versioning type thing, and the solutions are
Kerberos specific issues, I don't know how much of a test plan we need/want to
repeat it. We're giving KDC instructions as a convenience, not supporting the
KDC itself. To me, this feels like a best-effort type attempt to address
issues. If we feel that way as a group, I'd be interested in if anyone wants
to modify or update the READMEs to reflect that a bit better. Otherwise,
coming up with a test plan may be a pain, because we'd have to track down the
actual root versioning cause.
I've also included a formatting fix to the docs from while I was in the
area. The newline didn't show up properly in triple backticks in the maven
site output.
