    nscd: Define nscd_ssize_t as int32_t unconditionally
    
    alpha was the only target that overrode sysdeps/generic/nscd-types.h,
    defining nscd_ssize_t as int64_t rather than int32_t. The file dated back
    to the initial import and had only ever received licence and copyright
    updates.
    
    nscd's response headers are a wire format, shared between the daemon and
    its clients through a socket and through the persistent cache. A 64-bit
    nscd_ssize_t gives four of them 8-byte alignment while their last member is
    32 bits, so they acquire four bytes of tail padding: hst_response_header,
    ai_response_header, serv_response_header and innetgroup_response_header.
    
    For the hosts cache that is fatal. cache_addhst() asserts that the string
    data follows the header with no gap, and on alpha it does not:
    
      nscd: hstcache.c:269: cache_addhst: Assertion
        `(char *) (&dataset->resp.error + 1) == dataset->strdata' failed.
    
    The daemon aborts, and nscd/tst-nscd-basic fails with 58 errors. With the
    override removed it passes.
    
    The padding is also never initialised. cache_addhst() assigns the header
    fields individually and nothing clears the record, yet the response is sent
    with writeall (fd, &dataset->resp, ...) covering the full
    sizeof (hst_response_header), so four uninitialised bytes reach every
    client.
    
    With alpha gone there is no target left overriding the type, so the sysdeps
    indirection has no purpose. Delete both headers and define nscd_ssize_t
    directly in nscd/nscd-client.h alongside the wire format it describes.
    
    This changes nscd's protocol and persistent cache layout on alpha; the
    daemon and its clients always come from the same build, so the exposure is
    a daemon left running or a cache file left behind across the upgrade.
