Comment(by andersk):
 A getent_nonlocal binary would be possible with a bit of refactoring, but
 do you have a use case for it that hesinfo couldn’t satisfy?

 `NSS_LOCAL_IGNORE` can’t really work: nss_nonlocal isn’t loaded in a
 position where it has the ability to cause local users to disappear, and I
 don’t really want to give it that ability.
