Consolidate code to initialize nscd dataset header

This patch consolidates the code to initialize the header of a dataset
into a single set of functions (one for positive and another for
negative datasets) primarily to reduce repetition of code.  The
secondary reason is to simplify Patch 2/2 which fixes the problem of
an uninitialized byte in the header by initializing an unused field in
the structure and hence preventing a possible data leak into the cache
file.
