[PATCH 2/8] apparmor: allow libvirtd to call pygrub

From: Stefan Bader <stefan.bader at canonical.com>

When using xen through libxl in Debian/Ubuntu it needs to be able to
call pygrub.

This is placed in a versioned path like /usr/lib/xen-4.11/bin.
In theory the rule could be more strict by rendering the libexec_dir
setting pkg-config can derive from libbxen-dev. But that would make
particular libvirt/xen packages version-depend on each other. It seems
more reasonable to avoid these versioned dependencies and use a wildcard
rule instead as it is already in place for libxl-save-helper.

Note: This change was in Debian [1] and Ubuntu [2] for quite some time
already.
