Under SELinux, Unix domain sockets have two labels.  One is on the
disk and can be set with commands such as chcon(1).  There is a
different label stored in memory (called the process label).  This can
only be set by the process creating the socket.  When using SELinux +
SVirt and wanting qemu to be able to connect to a qemu-nbd instance,
you must set both labels correctly first.

For qemu-nbd the options to set the second label are awkward.  You can
create the socket in a wrapper program and then exec into qemu-nbd.
Or you could try something with LD_PRELOAD.

This commit adds the ability to set the label straightforwardly on the
command line, via the new --selinux-label flag.  (The name of the flag
is the same as the equivalent nbdkit option.)

It's nicer if you do it like this (i.e. without the .found()):

summary_info += {'selinux':           selinux}

... then meson prints out the version of the library, too.

Apart from that, patch looks fine to me:
