[PATCH] nscd: Improve nscd.conf comments.

[Carlos O'Donell <codonell at redhat dot com>]

This is another patch that attempts to harmonize Fedora with upstream glibc,
and provide some of the same warnings and notes that we have no our nscd.conf
file. I think the note about 'shared' and cache hit rates is particularly
relevant, and we've had users asking us about this for years.

8< --- 8< --- 8<

This change adds a warning to nscd.conf about running multiple caching
services together and that it may lead to unexpected behaviours. Also we
add a note that enabling the 'shared' option will cause cache hit rates
to be misreported (a side effect of the implementation).
