Caleb Case 031ee84821 semodule: add priority, enabled, and extended listing
This updates the semodule tool with the ability to set the priority for
commands, to enable/disable modules, and extended module listing options
for displaying extra module information (e.g., priority, enabled status,
and language extension).

[semodule priority]

-X --priority set the priority for following operations

Notes:

* This sets the priority for the following operations.

* It can be used any number of times with its effect continuing until
  the next priority is specified.

* The default priority is used if no priority has yet been specified.

Impact on current operations:

* Install module

  * Without priority - Install at default priority.

  * With priority - Install at specified priority.

  * New warning when overriding (issued by libsemanage).

* Upgrade module

  * Without priority - Upgrade at default priority (current upgrade
    semantics apply).

  * With priority - Upgrade at specified priority (current upgrade
    semantics apply).

  * New warning when overriding (issued by libsemanage).

* Remove module

  * Without priority - Remove a module at the default if exists.

  * With priority - Remove at that priority.

  * New info messages (issued by libsemanage):

    * If no modules exist at the given priority but do exist at other
      priorities, give an info message listing the modules and priority.

    * If a new module at a lower priority will become active print a
      message.

    * If the last module with this name is being removed print a
      message.

* Base

  * The name of base module on install is fixed to "_base" (performed by
    libsemanage).

  * Without priority - Install at default priority.

  * With priority - Install at specified priority.

  * New warning when overriding (issued by libsemanage).

* List modules

  * See listing changes below.

Examples:

semodule -i foo.pp

semodule -X 500 -i foo.pp

[semodule enable/disable]

Add enable/disable status:

-e   --enable   enable the module (at all priorities)
-d   --disable  disable the module (at all priorities)

Notes:

* Base modules are always enabled and cannot have their enabled/disabled
  status changed.

* New error when disabling a base module (from libsemanage).

* New warning when enabling a base module (from libsemanage).

Impact on current operations:

* Install module

  * If a module with that name is already installed, then the enabled
    status will remain the same after installing the new module.

  * New warning when installing a module which will be disabled by
    existing enabled status (from libsemanage).

* Upgrade module

  * If a module with that name is already installed, then the enabled
    status will remain the same after installing the new module.

  * New warning when installing a module which will be disabled by
    existing enabled status (from libsemanage).

* Remove module

  * When the last module with a given name is removed (no more exist at
    other priorities) then the enabled status is forgotten.

* Base

  * Base modules are always installed enabled and remain so (can't be
    disabled).

* List modules

  * See listing changes below.

Examples:

semodule -e foo

semodule -d foo

[semodule list]

-l		--list		list modules as if by -lstandard

-lstandard	--list=standard	list name and version of highest priority,
				enabled, non-base modules sorted alphabetical
				by name

-lfull		--list=full	list all fields of all modules columnated
				sorted high priority to low, within priority
				alphabetical by name

Impact on current operations:

* List modules

  * Default listing stays the same.

  * New long options for 'standard' and 'full'.

Examples:

semodule -l
semodule -lstandard
semodule --list=standard

alsa 1.7.1
apm 1.9.1
apt 1.5.2
authlogin 2.0.0
avahi 1.10.3
bluetooth 3.1.3
...

semodule -lfull
semodule --list=full

600 alsa      1.7.1 disabled pp
400 _base     1.0.0          pp
400 alsa      1.7.1 disabled pp
400 apm       1.9.1          pp
400 apt       1.5.2          pp
400 authlogin 2.0.0          pp
...
100 alsa      1.7.1 disabled pp

.SH SYNOPSIS

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
semodule is the tool used to manage SELinux policy modules,
including installing, upgrading, listing and removing modules.
semodule may also be used to force a rebuild of policy from the
module store and/or to force a reload of policy without performing
any other transaction. semodule acts on module packages created
by semodule_package. Conventionally, these files have a .pp suffix
(policy package), although this is not mandated in any way.
