net: allow netgo to use lookup from nsswitch.conf

Change https://golang.org/cl/8945 allowed Go to use its own DNS resolver
instead of libc in a number of cases. The code parses nsswitch.conf and
attempts to resolve things in the same order. Unfortunately, builds with
netgo completely ignore this parsing and always search via
hostLookupFilesDNS.

This commit modifies the logic to allow binaries built with netgo to
parse nsswitch.conf and attempt to resolve using the order specified
there. If the parsing results in hostLookupCGo, it falls back to the
original hostLookupFilesDNS. Tests are also added to ensure that both
the parsing and the fallback work properly.

Fixes #14354

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
