nbd/server: Add --selinux-label option
Under SELinux, Unix domain sockets have two labels. One is on the disk and can be set with commands such as chcon(1). There is a different label stored in memory (called the process label). This can only be set by the process creating the socket. When using SELinux + SVirt and wanting qemu to be able to connect to a qemu-nbd instance, you must set both labels correctly first. For qemu-nbd the options to set the second label are awkward. You can create the socket in a wrapper program and then exec into qemu-nbd. Or you could try something with LD_PRELOAD. This commit adds the ability to set the label straightforwardly on the command line, via the new --selinux-label flag. (The name of the flag is the same as the equivalent nbdkit option.) A worked example showing how to use the new option can be found in this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1984938 Fixes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1984938 Signed-off-by: Richard W.M.

Berrangé <berrange@redhat.com> [eblake: rebase to configure changes, reject --selinux-label if it is not compiled in or not used on a Unix socket] Note that we may relax some of these restrictions at a later date, such as making it possible to label a TCP socket, although it may be smarter to do so as a generic QMP action rather than more one-off command lines in qemu-nbd.
