Adding libselinux to the inputs of emacs allows it to support it's
extended file attributes, so emacs can get and set the selinux context
of a file, as explained near the bottom of these pages here:

Well, I am not sure it is worth to add this selinux for the base Emacs.
Maybe, such addition could be via a variant.  WDYT?

It only adds about 4 MiB to the 1.1 GiB+ closure of Emacs, so I applied
it to the staging branch as 15870cc08d.

Closing; thanks!
