This sounds a lot of application logic, and we also don't want to
implicitly delegate a ticket at this point.

btw, we don't have to call it s4u2proxy creds, it's just a tgt-less
cache with a service ticket, maybe we could use it in different
manners as well (for local auth, or maybe invent a way to authenticate
to the kdc with it?).
