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

2016-06-09T01:28:44Z

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. Sponsored by: EMC / Isilon Storage Division

According to POSIX, the netdb.h header must also provide in_addr_t and in_port_t. It should also provide IPPORT_RESERVED. Copy over the necessary bits from to achieve that.

addrinfo.ai_family is an address family, not a protocol family.

As C1X is close to being released, there is no need to wrap around a feature that is already part of C90. Most of these files already use `const' in different placed as well.
