nsswitch.conf(5): recommend placing cache after files

When cache precedes files, and nscd is configured to allow negative caching,
commands like "pw groupadd" can fail. The sequence of events looks like:

1. A command like pkg(8) looks up the group, and finds it absent.
2. pkg invokes pw(8) to add the group
3. pkg queries the group, but nscd says it doesn't exist, since it has a
negative cache entry for that group.

Don't call stat(2) on nsswitch.conf(5) every time nsdispatch(3)
and dependent functions (eg getpwname(3)) get called. This can
improve performance of binaries that perform a lot of name
lookups, such as gssd(8). It also matches documented behaviour
of Linux and Solaris.

The old code is left in place, should anyone need it, guarded
by #ifdef NS_REREAD_CONF.

Implement an NSS backend for netgroups and add getnetgrent_r(3).

This support appears to have been documented in nsswitch.conf(5) for some
time. The implementation adds two NSS netgroup providers to libc. The
default, compat, provides the behaviour documented in netgroup(5), so this
change does not make any user-visible behaviour changes. A files provider
is also implemented.

innetgr(3) is implemented as an optional NSS method so that providers such
as NIS which are able to implement efficient reverse lookup can do so.
A fallback implementation is used otherwise. getnetgrent_r(3) is added for
convenience and to provide compatibility with glibc and Solaris.

With a small patch to net/nss_ldap, it's possible to specify an ldap
netgroup provider, allowing one to query nisNetgroupTriple entries.
