There is nothing automated to do this. Theoretically you could use
krbprincipalexpiration to enforce this but there is nothing that will
add some offset to it when a password is changed.

I think it would be fairly straightforward to add but it would require a
new policy attribute, new CLI/UI to manage that attribute, etc.

The actual setting of the attribute is probably like 5 lines of code.
