Handle more that 16 aux groups limit #44

NFS server, or to be more precise, RPC's AUTH_SYS supports maximum 16 secondary groups for the user. However, in modern environments, having more subgroups is not an exception. While we can't change RPC layer, the NFS server itself can resolve user's group membership by talking to an external provider.
