must be unique and must change if the content of the file changes. The
policy name is used to ensure that the XM tools and the hypervisor work
on the same policy, i.e., interpret the security information on domains
consistently. This patch also simplifies the policy management by moving
policy and labels into a single file.

* adds a C-based security policy translation tool to Xen (secpol_xml2bin)
and removes the current Java
security policy translator (Java dependencies). The C-based tool
integrates into the Xen source tree build
and install (using gnome libxml2 for XML parsing). See install.txt.
* introduces security labels and related tools. Users can now use
semantic-rich label names to put security-tags
on domains. See example.txt, policy.txt.
* moves the security configuration (currently ACM_USE_SECURITY_POLICY)
from xen/Rules.mk
into a separate top-level Security.mk file (it is needed by the
tools/security and xen/acm).
Both xen/acm and tools/security are built during the Xen build process
only if ACM_USE_SECURITY_POLICY
is not ACM_NULL_POLICY (which is the default setting).
