[redhat-lspp] [RFC: PATCH] Audit Failure Query Functionality

This is this initial patch for the audit failure query functionality.
Currently, each service and application is responsible for determining
the action to take when the audit subsystem is unavailable (stop the
action or service, continue on, log a message). Different
customers may want different actions taken, and this flexibility is
not possible if the action is hard-coded into the application.
This patch introduces a new query function,
audit_failure_action(), which can be called to determine what
action should be taken by the service after audit_open() fails.
The function will read the tunable "auditfailure" from the
new /etc/libaudit.conf file to determine what action should be
taken. audit_failure_action() can also be passed a filename
so that an application-specific action can be defined within its
own file.
The audit_open() man page will be updated to introduce
application developers to the new query function that should
be used when audit_open() returns failure. A new man page
will also be created for the audit_failure_action() function.
This patch is backed against audit version 1.2.3.
