I'm prefer not to use forward declarations if they can be avoided, and
in this particular case it looks like we can move the *_destroy
functions up just below policydb_lookup_compat() and avoid the forward
declaration while keeping some sanity to the layout of the file.

Yes, the patch does become much larger (378 lines changed in the test
patch I just did), but I think the end result is cleaner.
