genhomedircon functionality was taken into libsemanage in order to
address various problems with the external implementation, and
homedir_template is generated (from template entries in the .fc files)
and used within the module sandbox, not made externally accessible.

/usr/sbin/genhomedircon is now just a script that invokes semodule -Bn
to regenerate the policy.
