Include PA_ENC_TIMESTAMP in first AS-REQ to avoid bare preauth probe
The original getKerberosTGT() sent an initial AS-REQ without PA_ENC_TIMESTAMP to discover the KDC's supported etypes and salt, then followed up with an authenticated AS-REQ. This two-step pattern is detectable as "AS-REQ without pre-authentication data followed by TGS-REQ" and fingerprints impacket on the wire. This change computes the Kerberos salt locally using the standard AD convention (REALM + sAMAccountName) and includes PA_ENC_TIMESTAMP in the very first AS-REQ. If the salt guess is wrong (e.g. case mismatch or renamed account), the correct salt is extracted from the KDC_ERR_PREAUTH_FAILED error response's e-data and the request is retried — still with PA_ENC_TIMESTAMP, so no bare probe ever hits the wire. The kerberoast_no_preauth path (AS-REP roasting) is preserved as a separate early-return branch that intentionally omits PA_ENC_TIMESTAMP.
