This commit implements full support for starting the idle domain privileged by
introducing a new flask label xenboot_t which the idle domain is labeled with
at creation.  It then provides the implementation for the XSM hook
xsm_set_system_active to relabel the idle domain to the existing xen_t flask
label.

In the reference flask policy a new macro, xen_build_domain(target), is
introduced for creating policies for dom0less/hyperlaunch allowing the
hypervisor to create and assign the necessary resources for domain
construction.

What about ->self_sid, which ...

... you also overwrite here?

I think you want to re-add setting is_privileged to false.  I think
from the other thread Roger just thought it should also have the
matching assert.  It doesn't matter for flask decisions, but it
changes the return of is_control_domain.  It seems to me it would be
better to have idle domains consistent between flask and non-flask
instead of having a potentially subtle difference.
