Summary: Changes to nis module to support multiple NIS domains

Initial Comment:

The nis module currently has no way to access nis
domains other than the default NIS domain. This is
fairly easy to achieve via the C API and so I've
patched it.

Summary of changes:
I've added a new get_default_domain() function and
exposed it to python.

I've added an optional "domain" keyword arg to the cat,
maps and match arguments but defaulted it to the
default domain to ensure backwards compatibility.

The previous patch was a little lazy. I've now taken the
opportunity to add module doc and fix the two compile time
warnings as well. New diff attached.
