From: Christian Göttsche <cgzones@googlemail.com>

Add support for extended permission rules in conditional policies by
adding a new policy version and adjusting writing and validating
policies accordingly.

Signed-off-by: Christian Göttsche <cgzones@googlemail.com>
---
v3:
  - several assertion logic fixes
v2:
  - rebase onto libsepol: Support nlmsg xperms in assertions
  - fix assertion checking with xperm av rules in conditional policies
    (spotted by Jim, thanks!)
