add alternate backend support for getgrouplist
This completes the alternate backend support that was previously added
to the getpw* and getgr* functions. Unlike those, though, it
unconditionally queries nscd. Any groups from nscd that aren't in the
/etc/groups file are added to the returned list, and any that are
present in the file are ignored. The purpose of this behavior is to
provide a view of the group database consistent with what is observed
by the getgr* functions. If group memberships reported by nscd were
honored when the corresponding group already has a definition in the
/etc/groups file, the user's getgrouplist-based membership in the
group would conflict with their non-membership in the reported
gr_mem[] for the group.

The changes made also make getgrouplist thread-safe and eliminate its
clobbering of the global getgrent state.
