This is confusing, and frustrating for users who want to edit policy with dontaudit rules turned off. This patch allows semanage to remember the last state of the dontaudit rules and apply them as default whenever a handle is created. Additionally other functions may check for the file semanage creates to determine if dontaudit rules are turned on. This knowledge can be useful for tools like SETroubleshoot which may want to change their behavior depending on the state of the dontaudit rules.

The reason for needing to create the file in the commit statement is because changes to the flag in sepol directly may be reflected in the commited policy but not the flags.

Actually, I think we want to not only log an error (via ERR) but also
return an error to the caller (i.e. the function needs to return an
error status) so that we can ultimately indicate to semodule that
semodule -DB or semodule -B failed.
