Yuli Khodorkovskiy 36f62b78f1 libsepol: Move secilc out of libsepol
Since the secilc compiler is independent of libsepol, move secilc out of
libsepol. Linke secilc dynamically rather than statically with libsepol.

- Move secilc source, test policies, docs, and secilc manpage to secilc
  directory.
- Remove unneeded Makefile from libsepol/cil. To build secilc, run make
  in the secilc directory.
- Add target to install the secilc binary to /usr/bin/.
- Create an Android makefile for secilc and move secilc out of libsepol
  Android makefile.
- Add cil_set_mls to libsepol public API as it is needed by secilc.
- Remove policy.conf from testing since it is no longer used.
