libkrb5 creates files named tktXXXXX (where XXXXX is random) and primary
in the target directory. I'd like to keep this in a subdirectory
of /run/user/username.

/run/user/username is created automatically by pam_systemd during
session start (and removed on last session exit).

If we decide to take on directory creation, we need to handle parent
directories too (in case someone chooses to manually set a cache dir
that's much deeper). And this still wouldn't play well with other
libkrb5-using applications, since they would each need to grow this
functionality as well.

So I opened https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=831738 to have
pam_systemd just do this for us on session login so we don't have to
worry about it for each and every potential consumer.

I also opened https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=831740 for the
record (to change to /run/user/UID instead of /run/user/username). We'll
see where that goes.
