Adds support for extended filesystem attributes in security and user
namespaces. They can be used to override flags set via the centralized
configuration, even when S.A.R.A. configuration is locked or saractl
is not used at all.

+Extended filesystem attributes
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+When this functionality is enabled, it's possible to override
+WX Protection flags set in the main configuration via extended attributes,
+even when S.A.R.A.'s configuration is in "locked" mode.
+If the user namespace is also enabled, its attributes will override settings
+configured via the security namespace.
+The xattrs currently in use are:
+
+- security.sara.wxprot
+- user.sara.wxprot
+
+They can be manually set to the desired value as a decimal, hexadecimal or
+octal number. When this functionality is enabled, S.A.R.A. can be easily used
+without the help of its userspace tools. Though the preferred way to change
+these attributes is `sara-xattr` which is part of `saractl` [2]_.

Trampoline emulation
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Some programs need to generate part of their code at runtime. Luckily enough,
