Refactor Wallet::Kadmin keytab_rekey to return keytab
Change the API for keytab_rekey to match keytab, returning the keytab as data instead of writing it to a file. This simplifies the wallet object implementation and moves the logic for reading the temporary file into Wallet::Kadmin and its child classes. (Eventually, there may be a kadmin backend that doesn't require using a temporary file.) Setting KEYTAB_TMP is now required to instantiate either the ::MIT or ::Heimdal Wallet::Kadmin classes.
