Laine Stump 75056f61f1 security: make it possible to set SELinux label of child process from its binary
Normally when a child process is started by libvirt, the SELinux label
of that process is set to virtd_t (plus an MCS range). In at least one
case (passt) we need for the SELinux label of a child process label to
match the label that the binary would have transitioned to
automatically if it had been run standalone (in the case of passt,
that label is passt_t).

This patch modifies virSecuritySELinuxSetChildProcessLabel() (and all
the functions above it in the call chain) so that the toplevel
function can set a new argument "useBinarySpecificLabel" to true. If
it is true, then virSecuritySELinuxSetChildProcessLabel() will call
the new function virSecuritySELinuxContextSetFromFile(), which uses
the selinux library function security_compute_create() to determine
what would be the label of the new process if it had been run
standalone (rather than being run by libvirt) - the MCS range from the
normally-used label is added to this newly derived label, and that is
what is used for the new process rather than whatever is in the
domain's security label (which will usually be virtd_t).

In order to easily verify that nothing was broken by these changes to
the call chain, all callers currently set useBinarySpecificPath =
false, so all behavior should be completely unchanged. (The next
patch will set it to true only for the case of running passt.)
