mxmount: Expand host groups by hostconfig
When /etc/mxmounts uses the netgroup syntax to export to a list of clients (usually @amd), expand the list using hostconfig to a list of hosts. This is one step for us to get rid of NIS. We could expand /filesystem @group(opts) to /filesystem host1(opts) hosts2(opts) host3(opts) host4(opts)... but because our opts are about 50 characters and we have about 540 hosts on @amd, we save about 27000 characters per line by converting to /filesystem -opts host1 host2 host3... Notes: * `hostconfig --list` does not only accept single tag (=group) names, but complex boolean expressions. We could export to @1 (=allways true, any known host) or @testing&!desktop. It is suggested, not to use this as a feature. * We need some mechnism to trigger a regeneration of the exports by mxmount when the groups are modified.
