support alternate backends for the passwd and group dbs

when we fail to find the entry in the commonly accepted files,  we
query a server over a Unix domain socket on /var/run/nscd/socket.
the protocol used here is compatible with glibc's nscd protocol on
most systems (all that use 32-bit numbers for all the protocol fields,
which appears to be everything but Alpha).
