As discussed in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1219718,
there are several inconsistencies between the matchpathcon man page
and the implementation. The same is true of the SELABEL_OPT_SUBSET
option for the selabel_file backend. Fix the man pages for both.
Also note in the man pages that the entire matchpathcon family
of functions is deprecated and recommend use of the corresponding
selabel interfaces for new code.

In attempting to enable building various part of Android with -Wall -Werror,
we found that the const security_context_t declarations in libselinux
are incorrect; const char * was intended, but const security_context_t
translates to char * const and triggers warnings on passing
const char * from the caller. Easiest fix is to replace them all with
const char *. And while we are at it, just get rid of all usage of
security_context_t itself as it adds no value - there is no true
encapsulation of the security context strings and callers already
directly use string functions on them. typedef left to permit
building legacy users until such a time as all are updated.
This is a port of Change-Id I2f9df7bb9f575f76024c3e5f5b660345da2931a7
from Android, augmented to deal with all of the other code in upstream
libselinux and updating the man pages too.

- Add man page sections '(N)' to external references, and '()' on
functions described in the same man page.
- Escape minus signs when those are expected to be used on the command
line or files.
- Mark files and variables in italic; Note headings, function names,
constants, program options and man page references in bold.
- Do not justify and hyphenate SEE ALSO section, and avoid hyphenation
on symbol names by prepending them with \%.
- Remove trailing dot from NAME section description.
- Split sections with a no-op command '.', to visually distinguish them
but to avoid introducing spurious vertical space in the formatted
output.
- Add explicit .sp commands in the SYNOPSIS section between function
prototypes, and fix space placement in function protoypes.
- Split header includes with .br (instead of the explicit or implicit
.sp) so that they are vertically contiguous.
- Add missing {} around SELINUXTYPE and POLICYTYPE variable text in
paths.
- Remove unneeded formatting commands.
- Remove spurious blank lines.

Manual page improvements for the file_contexts and related policy
configuration files (section 5):
- create links to selabel_file.5 not only for file_contexts.5 but
also for the other optional policy configuration files (including
the so-called file contexts "substitution" files);
- clarify the above mentioned manual page(s), in particular relatively
to the action performed by the so-called file contexts "substitution"
policy configuration files (aliasing/equivalence versus substitution);
- improve the explanation of the form that the "substitution" files
shall have.

Updated selabel_file(5) with file context configuration file format and
added file_contexts(5) man page that links to it. selabel_file(5) also
describes the .local, .homedirs, .subs and .subs_dist configuration file
formats.
