[Libguestfs] [PATCH] Add 'setcon', 'getcon' commands to set and get the SELinux context

These commands let you set and get the SELinux context of the daemon
and all operations in the API and processes run from the daemon:

  $ ./fish/guestfish --ro -a /dev/mapper/vg_trick-F11x64 \
    selinux 1 : \
    run : \
    mount /dev/vg_f11x64/lv_root / : \
    sh "/usr/sbin/load_policy" : \
    getcon : \
    setcon "system_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0" : \
    getcon
  
  system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0
  system_u:system_r:unconfined_t:s0

Rich.
