Avoid warnings for unused results in nscd/connections.c.
This patch avoids warnings for unused results of setuid and setgid in nscd/connections.c using an ignore_value macro along the lines suggested by Paul in <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-11/msg00733.html>. Tested for x86_64. * include/libc-internal.h (ignore_value): New macro. * nscd/connections.c (restart): Wrap calls to setuid and setgid with ignore_value.
