tasks/networked{,-common}: Stop using nscd.

Rationale behind this:
  * main server, terminal servers, workstations, and minimal installations
    (all LDAP clients) have nslcd installed caching most of the LDAP queries
    requested by the client, and the few local accounts don't need to be
    cached.
  * roaming workstations use sssd (also caching LDAP + Kerberos queries)
  * standalone installations only have a single user (not much caching needed).

The overall gain of removing nscd from networked Debian Edu systems is
to reduce delays between changes in LDAP and those changes being
available on the clients.
