Search the SELinux selabel database for the file type to be created.
Not specifying the file mode can cause an incorrect file context to be
returned.
Also prepare contexts in commonio_close() for the generic database
filename, not with the backup suffix appended, to ensure the desired
file context after the final rename.
Closes: #322

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.
(see man:setrans.conf(5))

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.
