Make the client and server code consistent regarding the extra buffer
space made available for the auth code when wrapping data.
Add some comments/documentation about the available buffer space
in the xdr_buf head and tail when gss_wrap is called.
Add a compile-time check to make sure we are not exceeding the available
buffer space.
Add a central function to shift head data.
