selinux: introduce neveraudit types
Introduce neveraudit types i.e. types that should never trigger audit messages. This allows the AVC to skip all audit-related processing for such types. Note that neveraudit differs from dontaudit not only wrt being applied for all checks with a given source type but also in that it disables all auditing, not just permission denials. When a type is both a permissive type and a neveraudit type, the security server can short-circuit the security_compute_av() logic, allowing all permissions and not auditing any permissions. This change just introduces the basic support but does not yet further optimize the AVC or hook function logic when a type is both a permissive type and a dontaudit type.
