Reject multi-round GSS-API negotiation (GSS_S_CONTINUE_NEEDED) in
dst_gssapi_acceptctx().  Each call to gss_accept_sec_context()
allocates a context inside the GSS library; without this fix, the
context handle was passed back to process_gsstkey() which did not
store it persistently, leaking it on every incomplete negotiation.

An unauthenticated attacker could exhaust server memory by sending
repeated TKEY queries with GSSAPI tokens, each leaking one GSS
context.  The leaked memory is allocated by the GSS library via
malloc(), bypassing BIND's memory accounting.

In practice, Kerberos/SPNEGO (the only mechanism used with BIND)
completes in a single round, so rejecting continuation does not
affect real-world deployments.  See RFC 3645 Section 4.1.3.
