From: Christian Göttsche <cgzones@googlemail.com>

SELinux userspace currently (and importantly in 3.8-rc1) supports
extended permissions in conditional blocks, while the kernel does not
and support will earliest arrive in 6.14.
Introduce a new version macro defining the maximum policy the current
stable kernel (at the time of the expected next userspace release)
supports, which then all tools can use as the default output policy
version.

Signed-off-by: Christian Göttsche <cgzones@googlemail.com>

This is an alternative to reverting the support.

I bundled all changes into one patch for this draft, but I can split it
in further revisions.

Apologies if you explained elsewhere, but I don't understand why this
is necessary or desirable.
The way things are supposed to work is that the policy compiler
toolchain builds the latest version it supports, then
libselinux/libsepol downgrade if necessary to the kernel-supported
version at load time.
At least that is how it has worked in the past.
And it is already possible to select a specific target version if
desired through libsemanage configuration or checkpolicy/secilc
command-line options as appropriate.
