Stephen Smalley 9eb9c93275 Get rid of security_context_t and fix const declarations.
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.

Guillem Jover 6ef13eeda7 libselinux: man: Fix man pages formatting
- 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.
