[apparmor] [PATCH] make private-files* more strict

A bug was reported in Ubuntu[1] regarding disallowing access to
autostart directories. This patch takes that slightly farther and does:

abstractions/private-files: don't allow wl to autostart directories
abstractions/private-files-strict: don't allow access to:
  - chromium
  - thunderbird
  - evolution
  - kmail
  - kwallet

Nominated for 2.5. I'd be happy to see more additions to private-files*
as they are blacklists and therefore not complete, but at least with
this patch we add some important restrictions to kde, chromium and gui
email files (the intended focus being on passwords).
