nss_db is back

I've added nss_db back.  The current code is abysmal, based on
terrible old code, really slow at startup etc.  The new code is pretty
much a rewrite which doesn't need Berkeley db.  Therefore no reason to
not carry it in libc itself.  People will have to obsolete the nss_db
package.  The databases have to be re-generated, the new format is
obviously not compatible.
