NPE when GSSAPISASLMechanismHandler is initialized

      Description

      When starting the server with a configured GSSAPISASLMechanismHandler, the handler initialization will fail with a NPE:

       msg=An error occurred while trying to initialize an instance of class org.opends.server.extensions.GSSAPISASLMechanismHandler as a SASL mechanism handler as defined in configuration entry cn=GSSAPI,cn=SASL Mechanisms,cn=config: NullPointerException (GSSAPISASLMechanismHandler.java:425 GSSAPISASLMechanismHandler.java:119 GSSAPISASLMechanismHandler.java:82 SASLConfigManager.java:207 SASLConfigManager.java:88 DirectoryServer.java:1710 DirectoryServer.java:1515 StartDs.java:329 DirectoryServer.java:3599)

      This is because org.opends.server.extensions.GSSAPISASLMechanismHandler#initialize uses the field configuration before the field is set.

      This bug makes it impossible to use the GSSAPI SASL mechanism handler.

      How to reproduce:
      Setup a DS server without starting it.

      $ touch ./opendj/config/krb5.keytab

      $ ./opendj/bin/dsconfig set-sasl-mechanism-handler-prop \
          --handler-name GSSAPI \
          --set enabled:true \
          --set keytab:./opendj/config/krb5.keytab \
          --offline \
          --no-prompt

      $ ./opendj/bin/start-ds
