[PATCH] syslog and SELinux patches

Hi,

I was recently debugging
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=572769

As part of this, I concluded our syslog output was inadequate; it's
not clear in the syslog whether something is from the system bus or
session (now, session is disabled by default, but it's certainly
possible to turn on).

So the first thing this patch series does is add a prefix to the log,
so it now looks like:

Mar 16 09:32:27 localhost dbus: [system] Reloaded configuration
Mar 16 09:32:27 localhost dbus: [session uid=500 pid=4344] Reloaded
configuration

Also, this patch changes the SELinux handling so that if SELinux is
enabled, but setting up the AVC fails, it becomes a fatal error (with
a hopefully informative syslog) instead of a crash.

The patches are conceptually independent but practically intertwined,
so posting as one series.
