MFC r318578:

Fix non-recoverable name resolution failures due to negative cache
entries never expiring. This patch honours the negative cache timeout.

To test/experience the failure do the following:

1. Edit /etc/ncd.conf to adjust the cache timeouts as follows:

	positive-time-to-live hosts 30
	negative-time-to-live hosts 1

2. Ensure that nsswitch.conf hosts line contains something like:

	hosts: files cache dns

	Note that cache must be specified before dns.

3. Start nscd.

4. Run the following command:

	while true; do nc -z -w 3 www.google.com 80; sleep 5; done

5. While running the command, remove or comment out all nameserver
   statements in /etc/resolv.conf. After a short while you will notice
   non-recoverable name rsolution failures.

6. Uncomment or replace all nameserver statements back into
   /etc/resolv.conf. Take note that name resolution never recovers.
   To recover nscd must be restarted. This patch fixes this.
