These retrieved contexts are just passed to libselinux functions and not
printed or otherwise made available to the outside, so a context
translation to human readable MCS/MLS labels is not needed.

Using hard-coded access vector ids is deprecated and can lead to issues with custom SELinux policies.
Switch to `selinux_check_access()`.
Also use the libselinux log callback and log if available to audit.
This makes it easier for users to catch SELinux denials.
Drop legacy shortcut logic for passwd, which avoided a SELinux check if uid 0 changes a password of a user which username equals the current SELinux user identifier.
Nowadays usernames rarely match SELinux user identifiers and the benefit of skipping a SELinux check is negligible.

libmisc/copydir.c, lib/selinux.c: Move set_selinux_file_context()
and reset_selinux_file_context() from libmisc/copydir.c to
lib/selinux.c.
* lib/commonio.c: Use set_selinux_file_context() and
reset_selinux_file_context() instead of using the existing
database SELinux context to set the context for the newly created
files.
