This patch implements extensions for managing security policies in xend.
The XSPolicy and ACMPolicy classes provide the interface for the Xen-API
and implement functionality for setting, updating and activating of a 
Xen security policy as well as labeling of virtual machines and resources
such as block devices. Labeling of network devices will follow.

The acmpolicy class implements a compiler for translating an XML policy
into their binary format and provides functionality for comparing a
current policy against a new one when changing/updating a policy.

The xspolicyadmin class administers the policy of the system.

Some of the xend-internal code deals with transforming the labeling information
from the S-Expression format into the new Xen-API format. This is similar
to much of the other code that is already there.
