Stephen Smalley 04ee5dfb80 Remove MAC capabilities from unconfined domains.
Linux defines two capabilities for Mandatory Access Control (MAC)
security modules, CAP_MAC_OVERRIDE (override MAC access restrictions)
and CAP_MAC_ADMIN (allow MAC configuration or state changes).
SELinux predates these capabilities and did not originally use them,
but later made use of CAP_MAC_ADMIN as a way to control the ability
to set security context values unknown to the currently loaded
SELinux policy on files.  That facility is used in Linux for e.g.
livecd creation where a file security context that is being set
on a generated filesystem is not known to the build host policy.
Internally, files with such labels are treated as having the unlabeled
security context for permission checking purposes until/unless the
context is later defined through a policy reload.

CAP_MAC_OVERRIDE is never checked by SELinux, so it never needs
to be allowed.  CAP_MAC_ADMIN is only checked if setting an
unknown security context value; the only legitimate use I can see
in Android is the recovery console, where a context may need to be set
on /system that is not defined in the recovery policy.

Remove these capabilities from unconfined domains, allow
mac_admin for the recovery domain, and add neverallow rules.
