Improve error message for DES kadmin/history key

If the kadmin/history entry contains an unsupported encryption type,
produce a better error message than "Bad encryption type".  Reuse the
error code KADM5_BAD_HIST_KEY (unused since release 1.8).  Non-updated
kadmin clients will report the message "Password history principal key
version mismatch", which at least points in the direction of password
history.
