SO_PEERLABEL. This provides an interface to query the label of a
socket peer without embedding implementation details of mac_t in
the application. Previously, sizeof(*mac_t) had to be specified
by an application when performing getsockopt().
Document mac_get_peer(3), and expand documentation of the other
mac_get(3) functions. Note that it's possible to get EINVAL back
from mac_get_fd(3) when pointing it at an inappropriate object.
NOTE: mac_get_fd() and mac_set_fd() support for sockets will
follow shortly, so the documentation is slightly ahead of the
code.

is accessed for the first time as a result of an application looking
up label configuration information. Previously, the check and read
were kicked off by mac_prepare_(typename)() functions; since
mac_prepare_type() may now be directly employed by a user process,
push the check and initialization into that function.

printing user and group names, and means you can read the ACL using
our tools rather than being up a creek.

the default label support in /etc/mac.conf. Rather than maintain
each default label type in an explicit global variable in mac.c,
keep a list of defaults loaded from the configuration file.
Generalize the parsing so that we support both the older:
default_file_labels foo
default_ifnet_labels foo
default_process_labels foo
And also a new:
default_labels file foo
default_labels ifnet foo
default_labels process foo
We now accept arbitrary object classes in the first argument. If
the same object is specified more than once, we discard the
earlier definition in favor of the later one.
Add a new API, mac_prepare_type(), which accepts a mac_t to
prepare, as well as an object name in the second argument, which
will pull a default label set for the object out of the
configuration loaded by mac_init_internal(). This permits the libc
to adapt to new objects known about by applications but not by libc
at compile-time.
Also liberalize the error handling a bit: if we're using implicit
initialization (i.e., the application didn't explicitly initialize
the MAC code), ignore syntax errors and only use valid lines. In
the future, we may want to add explicit warnings and do this a
bit more consistently.
While here, add support for a MAC_CONFFILE environmental variable,
which may be used to specify an alternative mac.conf configuration
file if the application isn't running with modified privilege
(issetugid()).
