That's what we actually need to check networking-related sysctls,
to scan for bound ports, and to manipulate bits of network
configuration inside pasta's target namespaces.

Somehow most of this used to work on older kernels, but now we need
to explicitly permit setuid, setgid, and setcap capabilities, as well
as read-only access to passwd (as we support running under a given
login name) and sssd library facilities.

Kernel commit ed5d44d42c95 ("selinux: Implement userns_create hook")
seems to just introduce a new functionality, but given that SELinux
implements a form of mandatory access control, introducing the new
permission breaks any application (shipping with SELinux policies)
that needs to create user namespaces, such as passt and pasta for
sandboxing purposes.
Add the new 'allow' rules. They appear to be backward compatible,
kernel-wise, and the policy now requires the new 'user_namespace'
class to build, but that's something distributions already ship.

In practical terms, passt doesn't benefit from the additional
protection offered by the AGPL over the GPL, because it's not
suitable to be executed over a computer network.
Further, restricting the distribution under the version 3 of the GPL
wouldn't provide any practical advantage either, as long as the passt
codebase is concerned, and might cause unnecessary compatibility
dilemmas.
