Added MIT Kerberos authentication.
Tested on CentOS 6.5 and Gentoo with ESXi 4.1 and Windows 2008 R2 as KDC.
python-kerberos/pykerberos package should be installed in client system.

Usage:
in shell:
$ kinit username@REALM.LOCAL

after that in python:
>>> from pysphere import VIServer
>>> server = VIServer()
>>> server.connect('servername', passthrough=True)
