[RFC] libaudit string fields interface

Hello,

Here is a patch against libaudit which adds support for the new
netlink message types and data structure used to specify audit rules
with string fields.

I've been using this patch to test my kernel changes.  Hopefully it
can be of some use in adding the remainder of the necessary support to
the audit userspace tools.

Regards,
Amy
