    makedb: fix build with libselinux >= 3.1 (Bug 26233)
    
    glibc doesn't build with libselinux 3.1 that has been released recently
    due to new deprecations introduced in that version and the fact that
    glibc is built with -Werror by default:
    
    | makedb.c: In function ‘set_file_creation_context’:
    | makedb.c:849:3: error: ‘security_context_t’ is deprecated [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
    |   849 |   security_context_t ctx;
    |       |   ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    | makedb.c:863:3: error: ‘matchpathcon’ is deprecated: Use selabel_lookup instead [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
    |   863 |   if (matchpathcon (outname, S_IFREG | mode, &ctx) == 0 && ctx != NULL)
    |       |   ^~
    | In file included from makedb.c:50:
    | /usr/include/selinux/selinux.h:500:12: note: declared here
    |   500 | extern int matchpathcon(const char *path,
    |       |            ^~~~~~~~~~~~
    | cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
    
    This patch fixes the makedb half of bug 26233 by moving to the new
    SELinux APIs and removes the existing compiler pragmas as no longer
    required. Upstream API usage feedback gathered by Arjun is integrated
    into this version of the fix.
    
    The built makedb was tested and operates as expected on x86_64 with
    SELinu in enforcing mode.
    
    No regressions on x86_64 with libselinux 3.3.
