Upstream SELinux has recently marked security_context_t as officially
deprecated, causing warnings with -Wdeprecated-declarations. This is
considered as legacy code for some time now by upstream as
security_context_t got removed from most of the code tree during the
development of 2.3 back in 2014.
This removes all the references to security_context_t in sepgsql/ to be
consistent with SELinux, fixing the warnings. Note that this does not
impact the minimum version of libselinux supported.
This has been applied first as 1f32136 for 14~, but no other branches
got the call. This is in line with the recent project policy to have no
warnings in branches where builds should still be supported (9.2~ as of
today). Per discussion with Tom Lane and Álvaro Herrera.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
