run: add ability to set selinux context

When running libvirt from the build directory with the 'run' script, it
will run as unconfined_t. This can result in unexpected behavior when
selinux is enforcing due to the fact that the selinux policies are
written assuming that libvirt is running with the
system_u:system_r:virtd_t context. This patch adds a new --selinux
option to the run script. When this option is specified, it will launch
the specified binary using the 'runcon' utility to set its selinux
context to the one mentioned above. Since this may require root
privileges, setting the selinux context is not the default behavior and
must be enabled with the command line switch.
