Alan Jenkins 6e289bb7bf policycoreutils: fixfiles: remove bad modes of "relabel" command
* `fixfiles -B relabel` or `fixfiles -C previouscontext relabel` would
  skip the code that handles e.g. `/var/tmp`, which would be run by
  `fixfiles relabel`.  It would still remove all files in /tmp (subject to
  user confirmation).  This is confusing, undocumented, and unlikely to
  be intentional.

* `fixfiles relabel path1 path2` is the same, except it would only relabel
  the first path.

* `fixfiles -R ... relabel` was equivalent to `fixfiles -R ... restore`,
  again contradicting the man page.

Also `fixfiles onboot` would ignore paths, -C, or -R.

fixfiles is mostly for users, where it should be acceptable to remove these
non-sensical combinations.

`fixfiles -C` is used in selinux-policy rpm install scripts.  However I
believe the rpms used `fixfiles -C previouscontext restore`, and did not
either require user interaction or blow away /tmp without prompting.  So
they should still work fine.

With these combinations removed, we can remove the `exit` calls which were
seen in some of the (non-error) code paths in `restore()`.

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.

To install libsepol on macOS (mainly for policy analysis):
cd libsepol; make DESTDIR=/usr/local PREFIX=/usr/local install

This requires GNU coreutils (brew install coreutils).
