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

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.
