daemon: Avoid 'Could not find keytab file' in syslog

Browse Source 
On F17 at least, every time libvirtd starts we get this in syslog:

libvirtd: Could not find keytab file: /etc/libvirt/krb5.tab: No such file or directory

This comes from cyrus-sasl, and happens regardless of whether the
gssapi plugin is requested, which is what actually uses
/etc/libvirt/krb5.tab.

While cyrus-sasl shouldn't complain, we can easily make it shut up by
commenting out the keytab value by default.

Also update the keytab comment to the more modern one from qemu's
sasl config file.

@ -233,7 +233,8 @@ The SASL mechanism configured by default is DIGEST-MD5, which provides a basic
username+password style authentication. To enable Kerberos single-sign-on instead,
the libvirt SASL configuration file must be changed. This is <code>/etc/sasl2/libvirt.conf</code>.
The <code>mech_list</code> parameter must first be changed to <code>gssapi</code>
instead of the default <code>digest-md5</code>. If SASL is enabled on the UNIX
instead of the default <code>digest-md5</code>, and keytab should be set to
<code>/etc/libvirt/krb5.tab</code> . If SASL is enabled on the UNIX
and/or TLS sockets, Kerberos will also be used for them. Like DIGEST-MD5, the Kerberos
mechanism provides data encryption of the session.
