Let's replace the "compat" module in our proposed nsswitch.conf configuration with "files", since it is not 1995 anymore. Fedora and other distros have deprecated and removed NIS support a while back. While others still retain some support I am not sure we should advertise it in our examples. Downstream can of course still use "compat" instead of "files" if they want to, but let's not confuse people who don't care about NIS anymore with this. Also, bring the nsswitch.conf snippet in README in line with what our man pages say. Also see: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/retire_NIS_user_space_utils
