It is technically possible to build libvirt with both apparmour and
selinux enabled, and choose between the impl with a libvirtd config.

This means we need to have separate methods for each in virCommand.
So I'd suggest a pair of methods

 virCommandSetSELinuxLabel(...)
 virCommandSetAppArmourProfile(...)
