libselinux: lazy init
Revive Steve Grubb's patch for libselinux lazy init and extend it to address not only the reading of /etc/selinux/config but also probing for /selinux/class and reading of /selinux/mls. This should reduce the need for dontaudit rules for programs that link with libselinux and it should reduce unnecessary overhead. I did not convert init_selinuxmnt over to lazy init since the functions that use selinux_mnt are not localized, and it only requires stat'ing of /selinux in the common case. I couldn't see a valid reason why we needed fini_obj_class_compat(), as the existence of /selinux/class will only change across a reboot with different kernel versions. fini_context_translations() already had a comment saying that it was unnecessary as well.
