No longer require NIS.

From: Nick Alcock <nick.alcock@oracle.com>

NIS is deader than the proverbial dodo, and eglibc allows you to compile
it out entirely.  Though libtirpc can work with NIS, it works perfectly
well if NIS is not in the libc, thanks to nsswitch (acting as if NIS
is there but empty).

However, when NIS is not compiled into eglibc, libnsl is not present.
So check for it at configure time, and include it via LIBS if available.
(I suspect this LIBS-inclusion will have no effect, and we don't even
need to check for NIS at compile time, but I have no NIS-capable systems to
test this on.)
