V5 kinit patch: signal error if extra arguments

V5 kinit ignores any arguments after the principal.  It should report an error.
(because they're probably there because the person running the program put the
arguments in the wrong order and needs to know about it).

This patch won't apply if you haven't applied Barry Jaspan's patch to add
ksrvtgt functionality to kinit, but you can apply it by hand because it's
obvious.
