gss_krb5: document that we ignore sequence number

A couple times recently somebody has noticed that we're ignoring a
sequence number here and wondered whether there's a bug.

In fact, there's not.  Thanks to Andy Adamson for pointing out a useful
explanation in rfc 2203.  Add comments citing that rfc, and remove
"seqnum" to prevent static checkers complaining about unused variables.
