Make profile includedir accept all *.conf files

Since the main config file is krb5.conf, it is intuitive to name
included files with a ".conf" extension; currently such files are
silently ignored.  Accept filenames ending in ".conf" as well as files
with no special characters.

[ghudson@mit.edu: shorten commit message and comment; accept the
filename ".conf" itself for simplicity; add a test; adjust
documentation change to note that allowing .conf is new in 1.15]
