Sven Vermeulen 73b7ff410c Only invoke RPM on RPM-enabled Linux distributions
When calling "sepolgen generate" to automatically generate a SELinux
policy template, the command fails when it cannot invoke RPM related
commands on Linux distributions that do not support RPM by default:

Failed to retrieve rpm info for selinux-policy

As the RPM related steps are only needed on RPM-enabled distributions,
we should ignore these steps on other Linux distribution platforms.

In this patch, we use the Python platform module to get the Linux
distribution, and only start the RPM-related activities on Linux
distributions that use RPM as their native package manager.

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.
