semodule -v will turn on semodule's own verbose logging but not logging
from CIL. This change makes the verbose flag also set cil's log level.

By default (ie no -v flag), this will enable CIL_ERR, and each -v will
increase the level from there.

Tested with a duplicated fcontext in the policy.
Before this change:
    # semodule -v -B
    Committing changes:
    Problems processing filecon rules
    Failed post db handling
    semodule:  Failed!

After this change:
    # semodule -v -B
    [ ... snip ... ]
    Found conflicting filecon rules

Closes: https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/issues/176

I also opened a PR here to run travis tests: https://github.com/SELinuxProject/selinux/pull/182

This only affects semodule -v, I tested out setsebool and it doesnt die
on a duplicated fcontext so I skipped it there. Should all the tools set
it or only as-needed? Do we want to make some general guidelines for
what kind of tools should set the CIL logging?

Thanks, applied. Not sure about whether other tools should set the cil 
log level.  I think current cil logging leaves a lot to be desired, 
especially since the pathnames identified in the output when invoked 
from semodule/libsemanage are temporary.  It would be preferable IMHO to 
display the actual conflicting rules themselves and not just the file 
name and line number.
