nss: remove obsolete code

  Hi,

glibc still ships with the /etc/default/nss configuration file
and the defines for it, but the code reading and using it got
completly removed. So the config file and the defines should be
removed, too.

Ok to commit?

Hi,

Since I haven't seen any reaction, I would like to commit this.
