Increase Sspi#MAX_TOKEN_SIZE on Windows 8/Server 2012 and later

[dbwiddis]

Fixes #1396. See also #291.

Alternately, we could read the MaxTokenSize registry entry value at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\Kerberos\Parameters if it exists, and default to these values otherwise, but that's way too complex to put in an initialization.

I'm not that deep in the windows apis anymore, but if this is a Kerberos Token, it is generated by the KDC (in windows networks the domain controller). Wouldn't it make more sense to default to 48kB uncondionally?

I think @dbwiddis is trying to match the default as documented on different versions of Windows. I prefer that.

@JStroom is this what you're looking for or something else?

Indeed I was. However, Windows 7/Server 2008 are both EOL now, so I am fine just updating to the new default.

Hi @dbwiddis, Yes that is exactly what I was looking for. I was planning to create a pull request after the weekend, but this is better than what I had in mind. Thanks!
