This patch consolidates the code to initialize the header of a dataset
into a single set of functions (one for positive and another for
negative datasets) primarily to reduce repetition of code. The
secondary reason is to simplify Patch 2/2 which fixes the problem of
an uninitialized byte in the header by initializing an unused field in
the structure and hence preventing a possible data leak into the cache
file.
The nscd/*cache.c files contain assert()s, writeall() and sendfileall() calls
that invalidly use together &dataset->resp and total where either dataset or
dataset->head.recsize should be used instead one of the components. In the
writeall() and sendfileall() cases, it is unlikely to matter in practice, but
the assertions can fail sometimes without a proper reason.
The commit 20e498bd removes the pthread_mutex_rdlock() calls, but not the
corresponding pthread_mutex_unlock() calls. Also, the database lock is never
unlocked in one branch of the mempool_alloc() if.
I think unreproducible random assert(dh->usable) crashes in prune_cache() were
caused by this. But an easy way to make nscd threads hang with the broken
locking was.

[BZ #5381]
* nscd/nscd.h: Remove definitions and declarations for mem_in_flight.
Change mempool_alloc prototype.
* nscd/mem.c (gc): Don't handle mem_in_flight.
(mempool_alloc): Third parameter now only indicates whether this is the
first call (to allocate data) or not. If it is, get db rdlock.
Release it on error. Don't handle mem_in_flight.
* nscd/aicache.c (addhstaiX): Mark he parameter as const.
Adjust third parameter of mempool_alloc calls.
Nothing to do here in case mempool_alloc fails.
Avoid local variable shadowing parameter. No need to get db rdlock
before calling cache_add.
* nscd/cache.c (cache_add): Adjust call to mempool_alloc. There is
no mem_in_flight array anymore.
* nscd/connections.c: Remove definition and handling of mem_in_flight.
* nscd/grpcache.c (cache_addgr): Adjust third parameter of
mempool_alloc calls. Mark he parameter as const. Nothing to do here
in case mempool_alloc fails. No need to get db rdlock before calling
cache_add.

time to max to be able to notice concurrent cache additions. Unlock
prune_lock while performing gc. Afterwards compute wakeup time with
current wakeup_time value in mind.
