We refactor the inotify file checking code and the
database clearing code out of the main_loop_poll and
mail_loop_epoll functions. We document some the related
functions with appropriate comments.
Whenever getaddrinfo needed network interface information it used the
netlink interface to read the information every single time. The
problem is that this information can change at any time.
The patch implements monitoring of the network interfaces through
nscd. If no change is detected the previously read information can
be reused (which is the norm). This timestamp information is also
made available to other processes using the shared memory segment
between nscd and those processes.
nscd can clear caches when certain files change. The list of files
was hardcoded so far and worked for nss_files and nss_dns and those
modules which need no monitoring. nss_db, for instance, has its
own set of files to monitor. Now the NSS modules themselves can
request that certain files are monitored.

[BZ #5381]
* nscd/nscd.h: Remove definitions and declarations for mem_in_flight.
Change mempool_alloc prototype.
* nscd/mem.c (gc): Don't handle mem_in_flight.
(mempool_alloc): Third parameter now only indicates whether this is the
first call (to allocate data) or not. If it is, get db rdlock.
Release it on error. Don't handle mem_in_flight.
* nscd/aicache.c (addhstaiX): Mark he parameter as const.
Adjust third parameter of mempool_alloc calls.
Nothing to do here in case mempool_alloc fails.
Avoid local variable shadowing parameter. No need to get db rdlock
before calling cache_add.

no mem_in_flight array anymore.
* nscd/connections.c: Remove definition and handling of mem_in_flight.
* nscd/grpcache.c (cache_addgr): Adjust third parameter of
mempool_alloc calls. Mark he parameter as const. Nothing to do here
in case mempool_alloc fails. No need to get db rdlock before calling
cache_add.

time to max to be able to notice concurrent cache additions. Unlock
prune_lock while performing gc. Afterwards compute wakeup time with
current wakeup_time value in mind.
