SASL 2.1.27 rc6

[Ken Murchison]

We haven't had much, if any, feedback on this release candidate.

Do the GSSAPI/LDAP folks have any further comments on 
https://github.com/cyrusimap/cyrus-sasl/issues/419

I'd really like to make a final release by Christmas as promised, but I 
also don't want to make a release that folks will have to patch immediately.
