[libvirt] [PATCH] docs: fix typo when using Kerberos principals

Kerberos uses 'primary' or 'key' files (principals), not 'abstract
ideal' (principles).  Reported by Jason Meinzer.

Reflow a paragraph to fit in 80 columns in the process.

* docs/auth.html.in: Fix spelling.

Pushing under the trivial rule.
