Upstream SELinux has recently marked security_context_t as officially
deprecated, causing warnings with -Wdeprecated-declarations. This is
considered as legacy code for some time now by upstream as
security_context_t got removed from most of the code tree during the
development of 2.3 back in 2014.
This removes all the references to security_context_t in sepgsql/ to be
consistent with SELinux, fixing the warnings. Note that this does not
impact the minimum version of libselinux supported.
This has been applied first as 1f32136 for 14~, but no other branches
got the call. This is in line with the recent project policy to have no
warnings in branches where builds should still be supported (9.2~ as of
today). Per discussion with Tom Lane and Álvaro Herrera.

Backpatch-through: 9.2
The main change here is to call security_compute_create_name_raw()
rather than security_compute_create_raw(). This ups the minimum
requirement for libselinux from 2.0.99 to 2.1.10, but it looks
like most distributions will have picked that up before 9.3 is out.

This is intended as infrastructure to allow sepgsql to cooperate with
connection pooling software, by allowing the effective security label
to be set for each new connection.

This is still pretty rough - among other things, the documentation
needs work, and the messages need a visit from the style police -
but this gets the basic framework in place.
