Closes#154
When starting any operation to do with subuid delegation, check
nsswitch for a module to use. If none is specified, then use
the traditional /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid files.
Currently only one module is supported, and there is no fallback
to the files on errors. Several possibilities could be considered:
1. in case of connection error, fall back to files
2. in case of unknown user, also fall back to files
etc...
When non-files nss module is used, functions to edit the range
are not supported. It may make sense to support it, but it also
may make sense to require another tool to be used.
libsubordinateio also uses the nss_ helpers. This is how for instance
lxc could easily be converted to supporting nsswitch.
Add a set of test cases, including a dummy libsubid_zzz module. This
hardcodes values such that:
'ubuntu' gets 200000 - 300000
'user1' gets 100000 - 165536
'error' emulates an nss module error
'unknown' emulates a user unknown to the nss module
'conn' emulates a connection error ot the nss module
Changes to libsubid:
Change the list_owner_ranges api: return a count instead of making the array
null terminated.
This is a breaking change, so bump the libsubid abi major number.
Rename free_subuid_range and free_subgid_range to ungrant_subuid_range,
because otherwise it's confusing with free_subid_ranges which frees
memory.
Run libsubid tests in jenkins
Switch argument order in find_subid_owners
Move the db locking into subordinateio.c

Issue #297 reported seeing
*** Warning: Linking the shared library libsubid.la against the
*** static library ../libmisc/libmisc.a is not portable!
which commit b5fb1b38ee was supposed
to fix. But a few commits later it's back. So try to fix it
in the way the bug reporter suggested. This broke builds some
other ways, namely a few missing library specifications, so add
those.

* login & su: Treat an empty passwd field as invalid
Otherwise it's treated like the “require no password” clause while it probably
should be treated like a normal su that can't validate anyway.
A similar change should be done for USE_PAM.
* su & login: Introduce PREVENT_NO_AUTH
man/usermod.8.xml: specify what happens when the current home directory
doesn't exist if using -d and -m options. Moreover, specify what happens
when the group ownership is changed and the uid's don't match in -u and
-g options.
man/shadow.5.xml: indicate the exact time and timezone for the dates.
Moreover, clarify that when the password expires the user won't be able
to login.
man/chage.1.xml: Indicate that -d option with a value of 0 forces the
user to change his password. Besides, set an example on how to use -E
option. Finally, add a general note to clarify that chage only takes
charge of local users and another note to indicate that it doesn't check
inconsistencies between shadow and passwd files.

The login.defs is shared between more upstream projects (util-linux,
etc.). We need to improve compatibility between the projects do not
report valid, but foreign items.
