Description

The NIS backend assumes that it can safely import the nis module.

However, this isn't always present on Python, and will be removed in

Python 3.13.
This change checks for this, attempting an import and logging if it

fails. The rest of the code will avoid trying to use the module if it's

not available, avoiding a crash.
This was hit in CI, where our Python 3.11 does not appear to ship with

NIS support.

Testing Done

Unit tests pass, with and without nis.
