Florian Weimer b99b0f93ee nss: Use "files dns" as the default for the hosts database (bug 28700)
This matches what is currently in nss/nsswitch.conf.  The new ordering
matches what most distributions use in their installed configuration
files.

It is common to add localhost to /etc/hosts because the name does not
exist in the DNS, but is commonly used as a host name.

With the built-in "dns [!UNAVAIL=return] files" default, dns is
searched first and provides an answer for "localhost" (NXDOMAIN).
We never look at the files database as a result, so the contents of
/etc/hosts is ignored.  This means that "getent hosts localhost"
fail without a /etc/nsswitch.conf file, even though the host name
is listed in /etc/hosts.
