Florian Klink 09244cbd98 nixos/nscd: set positive hosts caching ttl to 0
This effectively disables nscd's built-in hosts cache, which turns out
to be erratic in some cases.

We only use nscd these days as a more ABI-neutral NSS dispatcher
mechanism.

Local caching should still be possible with local resolvers in
/etc/resolv.conf (via the `dns` NSS module), or without local resolvers
via systemd-networkd (via the `resolve` nss module)

We don't set enable-cache to no due to
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/50316#discussion_r241035226.

# We basically use nscd as a proxy for forwarding nss requests to appropriate
# nss modules, as we run nscd with LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to the directory
# containing all such modules
# Note that we can not use `enable-cache no` As this will actually cause nscd
# to just reject the nss requests it receives, which then causes glibc to
# fallback to trying to handle the request by itself. Which won't work as glibc
# is not aware of the path in which the nss modules live. As a workaround, we
# have `enable-cache yes` with an explicit ttl of 0
