    MDEV-23959 GSSAPI plugin - support AD or local group name , and SIDs on Windows · cab5c00a

    Support membership tests in SSPI with special prefix form
    
    CREATE USER u IDENTIFIED WITH gssapi AS "GROUP:<group_name>"
    or
    CREATE USER u IDENTIFIED WITH gssapi AS "SID:<sid>"
    
    If user is created as one of the above, after successful SSPI handshake,
    this will happen
    
    1) If "GROUP:" prefix is used, then <group_name> is translated to SID
    using LookupAccountName() API
    
    2) SSPI user is checked for  SID membership with
    ImpersonateSecurityContext() and CheckMembership() APIs
    
    Note, that it <group>/<sid> do not need strictly to refer to an actual
    group.
    Identity test is also supported, e.g  "GROUP:<users_name>" or
    "SID:<user_sid>" will work too.
    
    
    Well-known SIDs (in SDDL syntax) appear to be supported such as
    "SID:WD" will refer to World/Everyone (== "SID:S-1-1-0")
    or
    "SID:BA" will refer to Administrators (== "SID:S-1-5-32-544")
    
    In UAC environments, for successful checks against Administrators group,
    elevation(Run As Administrator) might be necessary, since CheckMembership()
    needs groups to be marked as enabled in the token group list.
