[patch 2/2] selinux: add executable heap check

[Lorenzo Hernández García-Hierro <lorenzo@gnu.org>]

This patch,based on sample code by Roland McGrath, adds an execheap
permission check that controls the ability to make the heap executable
so that this can be prevented in almost all cases (the X server is
presently an exception, but this will hopefully be resolved in the future)
so that even programs with execmem permission will need to have the anonymous
memory mapped in order to make it executable. 
The only reason that we use a permission check for such restriction
(vs. making it unconditional) is that the X module loader presently
needs it; it could possibly be made unconditional in the future when
X is changed.

The policy patch for the execheap permission is available at:
