Nicolas Iooss ded385d377 libselinux: initialize temp value in SWIG wrapper to prevent freeing garbage
Currently this Python program triggers a segmentation fault in
libselinux SWIG wrapper:

    import selinux
    selinux.get_ordered_context_list()

gdb shows that the segmentation fault occurs when freeing some memory:

    Reading symbols from python...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
    Starting program: /usr/bin/python -c import\

SWIG generated the following code for _wrap_get_ordered_context_list():

    char ***arg3 = (char ***) 0 ;
    char **temp3 ;
    arg3 = &temp3;
    if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "OO:get_ordered_context_list",&obj0,&obj1))
        SWIG_fail;
    /* ... */
  fail:
    if (*arg3) freeconary(*arg3);

If PyArg_ParseTuple fails, freeconary() is called on the value of
"temp3", which has not been initialized. Fix this by initializing temp
to NULL in the SWIG template.

A similar issue exists with security_get_boolean_names(). Fix it too.

This issue has been found using clang's static analyzer, on a system
which uses SWIG 3.0.12.
