[MERGE/RFC] GSSAPI authentication support for FTP

[Jelmer Vernooij]

The attached patch adds support for GSSAPI authentication and
encryption in the FTP transport, as documented in RFC2228.

GSSAPI is mainly used for Kerberos.

The new transport class builds on top of the existing one and will try
secure authentication before any other authentication. If GSSAPI is
not available, it will also fall back to regular authentication.

The existing FTP tests are being run against the new secure FTP server already.
However, I couldn't find a good way to add tests for the GSSAPI authentication in
medusa, which seems to be written around the idea that everything has
a username and password.

What amount of testing is required here? Would it be sufficient if I
just tested that SecureFtp's methods attempt to send the right data?

Cheers,

Jelmer
