Fix checks on allowed mechs

We need to check if a mech is allowed against the desired_mechs set.
Otherwise in case the admin does not explicitly specify an allowed set
then all mechs are allowed, including NTLM. This causes annoying issues
with browsers like Firefox and Chrome/ium which end up popping up an
authentication dialog if they see NTLM is supported and they have no
Kerberos tickets around.
Authentication will then simply fail because NTLM is not actually supported.
By using desired_mechs we use a list of mechanism the machine actually
has a chance to support in the default case.
