[patch] nsswitch.conf.5: Add list of files being read when "files" service is used

["Nikola Forró" <nforro-H+wXaHxf7aLQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>]

This is not mentioned anywhere. Users can assume that the file being read
is something like /etc/$DATABASE, but that's not always the case. It's better
to explicitly specify which file is read for each respective database.
The list of files was acquired from glibc source code.
