nss-mymachines: drop support for UID/GID resolving
Now that we make the user/group name resolving available via userdb and thus nss-systemd, we do not need the UID/GID resolving support in nss-mymachines anymore. Let's drop it hence. We keep the module around, since besides UID/GID resolving it also does hostname resolving, which we care about. (One of those days we should replace that by some Varlink logic between nss-resolve/systemd-resolved.service too) The hooks are kept in the NSS module, but they do not resolve anything anymore, in order to keep compat at a maximum.
