MFC r336746, r336779
r336746: Make pw_scan(3) more compatible with getpwent(3) et. al. when processing data from /etc/passwd rather than /etc/master.passwd.
The libc getpwent(3) and related functions automatically read master.passwd when run by root, or passwd when run by a non-root user. When run by non- root, getpwent() copes with the missing data by setting the corresponding fields in the passwd struct to known values (zeroes for numbers, or a pointer to an empty string for literals). When libutil's pw_scan(3) was used to parse a line without the root-accessible data, it was leaving garbage in the corresponding fields.
These changes rename the static pw_init() function used by getpwent() and friends to __pw_initpwd(), and move it into pw_scan.c so that common init code can be shared between libc and libutil. pw_scan(3) now calls __pw_initpwd() before __pw_scan(), just like the getpwent() family does, so that reading an arbitrary passwd file in either format and parsing it with pw_scan(3) returns the same results as getpwent(3) would.
This also adds a new pw_initpwd(3) function to libutil, so that code which creates passwd structs from scratch in some manner that doesn't involve pw_scan() can initialize the struct to the values expected by lots of existing code, which doesn't expect to encounter NULL pointers or garbage values in some fields.
r336779: Stop exporting __pw_scan and __pw_initpwd as freebsd-private libc functions for use in libutil, and instead compile the small amount of common code directly into libutil with a .PATH reachover.

Revert r330897:
This was intended to be a non-functional change. It wasn't. The commit message was thus wrong. In addition it broke arm, and merged crypto related code.
Revert with prejudice.
This revert skips files touched in r316370 since that commit was since MFCed. This revert also skips files that require $FreeBSD$ property changes.
Thank you to those who helped me get out of this mess including but not limited to gonzo, kevans, rgrimes.

Add nsswitch support. By creating an /etc/nsswitch.conf file, you can configure FreeBSD so that various databases such as passwd and group can be looked up using flat files, NIS, or Hesiod.
= Hesiod has been added to libc (see hesiod(3)).
= A library routine for parsing nsswitch.conf and invoking callback functions as specified has been added to libc (see nsdispatch(3)).
= The following C library functions have been modified to use nsdispatch: . getgrent, getgrnam, getgrgid . getpwent, getpwnam, getpwuid . getusershell . getaddrinfo . gethostbyname, gethostbyname2, gethostbyaddr . getnetbyname, getnetbyaddr . getipnodebyname, getipnodebyaddr, getnodebyname, getnodebyaddr
= host.conf has been removed from src/etc. rc.network has been modified to warn that host.conf is no longer used at boot time. In addition, if there is a host.conf but no nsswitch.conf, the latter is created at boot time from the former.
