Mark Johnston 714ac00292 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.
