Does the replacement offer API which has all the methods as the 
wrappers? If so we can remove them.

Imho we can remove Backend.krb aka ipalib/plugins/kerberos.py. It's used 
only in 2 files, both are not in production. But I'm not sure about 
KRB5_CCache, the wrapper has some exception logic which might be wanted 
to be kept.
