[apparmor] [PATCH RFC] Add profile-based libapparmor query interface

I've got an initial libapparmor patch to complement the kernel query
interface patch that I recently sent out to the list. It is functional
but it is quite ugly so I'm looking for suggestions on how we want this
to look since there's not really a libapparmor precedence for an
interface like this.

* I made this dead really as far as what information can be extracted
  from the interface. The application using the interface will simply
  know whether it should allow the action and whether it should audit
  the action. My thoughts are that we can add a more complex interface
  later when we need it. For D-Bus, I think this simple of an interface
  is sufficient.

* I reused JJ's design from the aa_has_perm() function where the
  application needs to allocate a query buffer of AA_SOME_HEADER_SIZE +
  query size and then the query needs to be offset by
  AA_SOME_HEADER_SIZE bytes in the buffer. Then, the libapparmor
  function fills in the header and doesn't have to do any extra
  allocations or copies. Certainly good from an efficiency point of
  view, but not extremely user friendly. Something to worry about or
  not?

* Setting two int return parameters to indicate allow and audit isn't a
  final solution. I was thinking that I'd return a special return code
  that will indicate error or allow and audit statuses. Then define some
  simple macros (aa_query_profile_err(rc), aa_query_profile_allow(rc),
  aa_query_profile_audit(rc)) in apparmor.h that can be used to
  translate the return code. I'm open to other suggestions...

* Feel free to comment on any other parts of the patch, as well.

Description: Add profile-based libapparmor query interface
 Wrap the apparmorfs profile query interface with a very simple libapparmor
 interface. This function takes a permission mask and query string consisting
 of a profile name and a DFA match string separated by a NUL char. It sets two
 output parameters indicating whether the action should be allowed and if the
 action should be audited.
 .
 The allowed and audited output parameters take into account deny and quiet
 permission masks returned in the kernel query. Additionally, the audited
 ouput parameter takes into account whether the action is to be allowed or
 not. If not, audited is set to true as long as there was no specific quiet
 rules for the queried permission.
 .
 The function requires a static char array to be allocated and initialized to
 the path of the apparmorfs .access file the first time it is called.
 Otherwise, aa_find_mountpoint() would need to be called for every query which
 would be inefficient. pthread_once() is used to ensure that aa_query_profile()
 is thread-safe while the char array is being allocated and initialized.
