nss: Make nsswitch.conf more distribution friendly.

The current default nsswitch.conf file provided by glibc is not very
distribution friendly. The file contains some minimal directives that no
real distribution uses. This update aims to provide a rich set of
comments which are useful for all distributions, and a broader set of
service defines which should work for all distributions.

Tested defaults on x86_64 and they work. The nsswitch.conf file more
closely matches what we have in Fedora now, and I'll adjust Fedora to
use this version with minor changes to enable Fedora-specific service
providers.

v2
- Add missing databases to manual.
- Add link to manual from default nsswitch.conf.
- Sort nsswitch.conf according to most used database first.

v3
- Only mention implemented services in 'NSS Basics.'
- Mention 'automount' in 'Services in the NSS configuration.'
- Sort services in alphabetical order.

v4
- Project name is 'Samba'.

v5
- Fix typo in manual/nss.texi.

v6
- Fix another typo in manual/nss.texi. Ran spell checker this time.
