Subject: [PATCH] Revisit inquire_attrs_for_mech on old mechs

In gss_inquire_attrs_for_mech(), if the mech does not implement RFC
5587, return success with empty mech_attrs and known_mech_attrs sets
to indicate a lack of knowledge for all attributes.  The previous
behavior of returning an error caused gss_indicate_mechs_by_attr() to
fail out in the presence of an old mechanism, in turn causing
gss_acquire_cred() and SPNEGO to break.
