Before this patch system `malloc()`/`free()` were used to allocate
the buffer returned in the `output_token` object from the debug stub
of `gss_init_sec_context()` when enabled via `CURL_STUB_GSS_CREDS` in
debug-enabled libcurl builds. This object is later released via stock
`gss_release_buffer()`, which, in the Windows builds of MIT Kerberos,
doesn't use the system `free()`, but the Win32 `HeapFree()`.
Fix it by using the GSS alloc/free macros: `gssalloc_malloc()` and
`gssalloc_free()` from `gssapi_alloc.h`.
To make this work without MIT Kerberos feature detection, use a canary
macro to detect a version which installs `gssapi_alloc.h` for Windows.
For <1.15 (2016-11-30) releases, that do not install it, disable the GSS
debug stub in libcurl.
Strictly speaking, non-Windows builds would also need to use GSS
allocators, but, detecting support for `gssapi_alloc.h` is impossible
without build-level logic. Built-level logic is complex and overkill,
and MIT Kerberos, as of 1.22.1, uses standard malloc/free on
non-Windows platforms anyway. (except in GSS debug builds.)
