AppArmor extended conditionals work for trusted helpers
The initial implementation for trusted helpers a) mediates access to the trusted helper DBus server and b) allows the trusted helper to query AppArmor for information (eg, the security label) it can use to make access decisions. This works well enough in the short term, but longer term these types of access decisions often will be better handled in AppArmor itself. Add a limited set of extended conditionals with query interface improvements to support trusted helpers so they can remove their hard-coded policy.
