[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#1068649: winbind: Should be wanted by and ordered before nss-user-lookup.target

Package: winbind
Version: 2:4.17.12+dfsg-0+deb12u1
I'm not entirely sure, but I think winbind.service should include
[Unit]
Wants=nss-user-lookup.target
Before=nss-user-lookup.target
systemd.special(7) says:
"All services which provide parts of the user/group database should be ordered
before this target, and pull it in."
and winbind does provide parts of the user/group database (as long as it's
mentioned in nsswitch.conf, but typically that's the point, isn't it?).
We've had trouble with cron not running some jobs for a good while, and I just
now figured out that it's because we have some jobs configured to run as Samba
users, and cron started before winbind on boot and complained about invalid
users.
