    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.
