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.

Adjust third parameter of mempool_alloc calls.
Nothing to do here in case mempool_alloc fails.

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.

current wakeup_time value in mind.
