Subject: [PATCH] Try harder to avoid password change replay errors

Commit d7b3018d338fc9c989c3fa17505870f23c3759a8 (ticket 7905) changed
change_set_password() to prefer TCP.  However, because UDP_LAST falls
back to UDP after one second, we can still get a replay error due to a
dropped packet, before the TCP layer has a chance to retry.

Instead, try k5_sendto() with NO_UDP, and only fall back to UDP after
TCP fails completely without reaching a server.  In sendto_kdc.c,
implement an ONLY_UDP transport strategy to allow the UDP fallback.
