libselinux,libsemanage: Replace PYSITEDIR with PYTHONLIBDIR
libselinux and libsemanage Makefiles invoke site.getsitepackages() in
order to get the path to the directory /usr/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages
that matches the Python interpreter chosen with $(PYTHON). This method
is incompatible with Python virtual environments, as described in
https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/issues/355#issuecomment-10250452 .
This issue has been opened for more than 5 years.

On the contrary python/semanage/ and python/sepolgen/ Makefiles use
distutils.sysconfig.get_python_lib() in order to get the site-packages
path into a variable named PYTHONLIBDIR. This way of computing
PYTHONLIBDIR is compatible with virtual environments and gives the same
result as PYSITEDIR.

As PYTHONLIBDIR works in more cases than PYSITEDIR, make libselinux and
libsemanage Makefiles use it. And as native code is installed (as part
of the SWIG wrapper), use "plat_specific=1" in order to use /usr/lib64
on systems which distinguish /usr/lib64 from /usr/lib.

Build dependencies on Fedora:

To build and install everything under a private directory, run:
make DESTDIR=~/obj install install-pywrap

To install as the default system libraries and binaries
(overwriting any previously installed ones - dangerous!),
on x86_64, run:
make LIBDIR=/usr/lib64 SHLIBDIR=/lib64 install install-pywrap relabel
or on x86 (32-bit), run:
make install install-pywrap relabel

This may render your system unusable if the upstream SELinux userspace
lacks library functions or other dependencies relied upon by your
distribution.  If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.

To install libsepol on macOS (mainly for policy analysis):
cd libsepol; make PREFIX=/usr/local install

This requires GNU coreutils (brew install coreutils).
