Title: #381: disable hostname canonicalization by Kerberos library

simo5 commented:
"""
@martbab this change actually improves security by avoiding a DNS lookup that 
could be manipulated by an attacker, however it also means some setups may 
break, because they depend on canonicalization to actually get the correct 
name, and should be documented in release notes.
