Revert the definitions of _PW_KEY* to their previous values. There is
at least one consumer outside of libc and pwd_mkdb. Adjust the versioning in libc and pwd_mkdb accordingly. named was the application affected, and that fact was first Reported by: Zherdev Anatoly <tolyar@mx.ru> Sponsored by: DARPA, Network Associates Laboratories

+/* Historically, the keys in _PATH_MP_DB/_PATH_SMP_DB had the format
+ * `1 octet tag | key', where the tag is one of the _PW_KEY* values
+ * listed below. These values happen to be ASCII digits. Starting
+ * with FreeBSD 5.1, the tag is now still a single octet, but the
+ * upper 4 bits are interpreted as a version. Pre-FreeBSD 5.1 format
+ * entries are version `3' -- this conveniently results in the same
+ * key values as before. The new, architecture-independent entries
+ * are version `4'.
+ * As it happens, some applications read the database directly.
+ * (Bad app, no cookie!) Thus, we leave the _PW_KEY* symbols at their
+ * old pre-FreeBSD 5.1 values so these apps still work. Consequently
+ * we have to do muck around a bit more to get the correct, versioned
+ * tag, and that is what the _PW_VERSIONED macros is about.
