The nscd daemon caches hosts data from NSS modules verbatim, without
filtering protocol families or sorting them (otherwise separate caches
would be needed for certain ai_flags combinations). The cache
implementation is complete separate from the getaddrinfo code. This
means that rebuilding getaddrinfo is not needed. The only function
actually used is __bump_nl_timestamp from check_pf.c, and this change
moves it into nscd/connections.c.
Tested on x86_64-linux-gnu with -fexceptions, built with
build-many-glibcs.py. I also backported this patch into a distribution
that still supports nscd and verified manually that caching still works.

I used these shell commands:

(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

from `freeaddrinfo'.
`getifaddrs' and `freeifaddrs' are not in POSIX, they should not be
exposed along `freeaddrinfo' (through `__check_pf') which is POSIX.
* include/ifaddrs.h (__getifaddrs, __freeifaddrs): New declarations,
and use libc_hidden_def on them.
* inet/ifaddrs.c (__getifaddrs, __freeifaddrs): Use libc_hidden_def on
them.
* sysdeps/gnu/ifaddrs.c (__getifaddrs, __freeifaddrs): Likewise.
* inet/check_pf.c (__check_pf): Use __getifaddrs and __freeifaddrs
instead of getifaddrs and freeifaddrs.
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.
Add two more parameters to __check_pf.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/check_pf.c: When using the netlink
interface, determine whether IPv6 addresses are deprecated or
temporary. Create array of those addresses.
* inet/check_pf.c: Always tell caller there are no depracated
and temporary addresses.
* sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c: Pretty printing.
(struct sort_result): Add source_addr_flags field.
(rfc3484_sort): Implement rule 3 and 7.
(in6aicmp): New function.
(getaddrinfo): Call __check_pf also when we need info about IPv6
source addresses. When creating array for sorting addresses,
look up deprecated and temporary addresses returned by __check_pf
and add flag if necessary.
