gss_krb5: document that we ignore sequence number
A couple times recently somebody has noticed that we're ignoring a
sequence number here and wondered whether there's a bug.
In fact, there's not. Thanks to Andy Adamson for pointing out a useful
explanation in rfc 2203. Add comments citing that rfc, and remove
"seqnum" to prevent static checkers complaining about unused variables.
