Re-map the SELinux security classes on policy loads, as the mapping will
be desynchronized (see man:selinux_set_mapping(3)) and audit messages
will not show the actual class and permission names:
USER_AVC pid=24283 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 subj=system_u:system_r:xorg_t:s0 msg='avc: denied { 0x10 } for request=XFIXES:SelectSelectionInput comm=/usr/bin/python3 resid=6400001 restype=WINDOW scontext=xuser_u:xuser_r:systemd_user_instance_generic_bin_t:s0 tcontext=xuser_u:object_r:xorg_t:s0 tclass=(null) permissive=1
In addition use type-safe assignments.
