From: Christian Göttsche <cgzones@googlemail.com>

Validate the symbol tables for permissions of security classes and
common classes:
  * check their value is valid
  * check their values are unique
  * check permission values of classes do not reuse values from
    inherited permissions

This simplifies validating permissions of access vectors a lot, since it
is now only a binary and against the valid permission mask of the class.

Use UINT32_MAX instead of 0 as the special value for validating
constraints signaling a validate-trans rule, since classes with no
permissions are permitted, but they must not have a normal constraint
attached.

Reported-by: oss-fuzz (issue 67893)
Improves: 8c64e5bb6fe7 ("libsepol: validate access vector permissions")
Signed-off-by: Christian Göttsche <cgzones@googlemail.com>
---
v2:
   - move check independent of individual constraints out of the loop
   - change nperms parameter type of validate_constraint_nodes() from
     unsigned int to uint32_t
