Andrew Bartlett b896da351c krb5: Increase the minimum MIT Krb5 version to 1.21
This is the version we test with in CI after the image update
in the next commit.  This addresses the issues that were
fixed in CVE-2022-37967 (KrbtgtFullPacSignature) and ensures
that Samba builds against the MIT version that allows us to
avoid that attack.

The hooks to allow these expectations to be disabled in the tests
are kept for now, to allow this to be reverted or to test
older servers.

With MIT 1.21 as the new test standard for the MIT KDC build
we update the knownfail_mit_kdc - this was required regadless
after the CI image update.

Any update to the CI image, even an unrelated one, brings in
a new MIT Krb5, version 1.21-3 in this case.  This has new
behaviour that needs to be noted in the knownfail files or
else the tests, which haven't changed, will fail and
pipelines won't pass.

(The image generated by the earlier bootstrap commit brought
in krb5-1.21-2 which was buggy with CVE-2023-39975)

Further tweaks to tests or the server should reduce the number
of knownfail entries, but this keeps the pipelines passing for now.

Release Announcements
=====================
This is the first pre release of Samba 4.20. This is *not*
intended for production environments and is designed for testing
purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
Samba 4.20 will be the next version of the Samba suite.
UPGRADING
=========
NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
====================
New Minimum MIT Krb5 version for Samba AD Domain Controller
-----------------------------------------------------------
Samba now requires MIT 1.21 when built against a system MIT Krb5 and
acting as an Active Directory DC. This addresses the issues that were
fixed in CVE-2022-37967 (KrbtgtFullPacSignature) and ensures that
Samba builds against the MIT version that allows us to avoid that
attack.
Removed dependency on Perl JSON module
--------------------------------------
Distributions are advised that the Perl JSON package is no longer
required by Samba builds that use the imported Heimdal. The build
instead uses Perl's JSON::PP built into recent perl5 versions.
Current lists of packages required by Samba for major distributions
are found in the bootstrap/generated-dists/ directory of a Samba
source tree. While there will be some differences - due to features
chosen by packagers - comparing these lists with the build dependencies
in a package may locate other dependencies we no longer require.
