[OpenAFS-port-darwin] OS X: afs tokens at login

[Claudio Bisegni]

Hi derrick

The risks of unreachable cell can occour also for default cell. Any  
way there are setup like our in lnf that have more cell in our local  
server, so the risk of unreachable cell is the same of default.
And there are some setup for some users that use custom cellservdb  
with only local cell. So someone could be use not the default cell for  
home folder.
If we can, I prefer to let the afs admins to choice how to work also  
if they must be setup carefully the cellservdb of their client, anyway  
normal user can't save cellservdb only osx user admin can.

For this reason I have received a mail for a feature to implement. One  
have asked me to implement a way to download cellservdb from a custom  
URL.
