Well, for the NSS modules .la files make particularly little sense as
nobody ever links against them except with dlopen() called from inside
libc. And naked dlopen() doesn't know .la files, hence we can just
unconditionally remove them.

Given that the rest of systemd is Linux-specific anyway we probably
should remove all .la files from the installed tree, not just this one,
but definitely these ones.

(Also the lines for "_minimal.la" don't make much sense, this must be some
left-overs from old code that doesn't exist anymore in the repo.)
