Add an integer member "attrs_used" to the struct lsm_id which
identifies the API related data associated with each security
module. The initial set of features maps to information that
has traditionaly been available in /proc/self/attr. They are
documented in a new userspace-api file.

+Linux Security Modules
+=====================================
+
+:Author: Casey Schaufler
+:Date: November 2022
+
+Linux security modules (LSM) provide a mechanism to implement
+additional access controls to the Linux security policies.
+
+The various security modules may support any of these attributes:
+
+``LSM_ATTR_CURRENT`` is the current, active security context of the
+process.
+The proc filesystem provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/current``.
+This is supported by the SELinux, Smack and AppArmor security modules.
+Smack also provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/smack/current``.
+AppArmor also provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/apparmor/current``.
+
+``LSM_ATTR_EXEC`` is the security context of the process at the time the
+current image was executed.
+The proc filesystem provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/exec``.
+This is supported by the SELinux and AppArmor security modules.
+AppArmor also provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/apparmor/exec``.
+
+``LSM_ATTR_FSCREATE`` is the security context of the process used when
+creating file system objects.
+The proc filesystem provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/fscreate``.
+This is supported by the SELinux security module.
+
+``LSM_ATTR_KEYCREATE`` is the security context of the process used when
+creating key objects.
+The proc filesystem provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/keycreate``.
+This is supported by the SELinux security module.
+
+``LSM_ATTR_PREV`` is the security context of the process at the time the
+current security context was set.
+The proc filesystem provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/prev``.
+This is supported by the SELinux and AppArmor security modules.
+AppArmor also provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/apparmor/prev``.
+
+``LSM_ATTR_SOCKCREATE`` is the security context of the process used when
+creating socket objects.
+The proc filesystem provides this value in ``/proc/self/attr/sockcreate``.
+This is supported by the SELinux security module.
