Work around flaky NIS domains

Description

PR: https://github.com/truenas/middleware/pull/7855

The kernel yp client will try up to 200 seconds currently for various yp-related requests. This PR makes three significant changes related to the NIS service:

1) get list of NIS users/groups through `ypcat` subprocess before using the python pwd and grp modules to get info for webui and middleware cache. This avoids enumerating users and groups through the aforementioned modules.

2) alter nsswitch.conf generation so that `nis` is only added if the NIS service is enabled and status is not FAULTED.

3) alter NIS health check so that it regenerates the nsswitch.conf on each run (once every ten minutes).
