Allow password changes over NATs

In the kpasswd server code, don't set a remote address in the auth
context before calling krb5_rd_priv, since the kpasswd protocol is
well-protected against reflection attacks.  This allows password
changes to work in cases where a NAT has changed the client IP address
as it is seen by the server.
