Another pass at the patch.

This time -Z is not optional, only --context is.

- -Z or --context indicates use default label.

- --context=CTX uses previous behavior.

You can now do

cp -aZ and cp -Za and the right thing will happen.

I have turned off the warning SELinux is disabled if you specify -Z or
- --context.  Now it will quietly ignore.  I can add a comment to the usage if
you think it is worth while.   The reason I want to do this, is to allow
people to do "mkdir -Z /var/run/XYZ" in a script and not worry about whether
or not SELinux is enabled.  Currently we have lots of init script that do
things like

mkdir -Z /var/run/XYZ
restorecon /var/run/XYZ

Where restorecon quietly exits if SELinux is disabled.
