[PATCH] Only invoke RPM on RPM-enabled Linux distributions

[Sven Vermeulen <sven.vermeulen@siphos.be>]

When calling "sepolgen generate" to automatically generate a SELinux
policy template, the command fails when it cannot invoke RPM related
commands on Linux distributions that do not support RPM by default:

Failed to retrieve rpm info for selinux-policy
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python2.7/sepolicy", line 643, in <module>
    args.func(args)
  File "/usr/lib/python-exec/python2.7/sepolicy", line 517, in generate
    print mypolicy.generate(args.path)
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sepolicy/generate.py", line 1370, in generate
    out += "%s # %s\n" % (self.write_spec(out_dir), _("Spec file"))
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sepolicy/generate.py", line 1219, in write_spec
    fd.write(self.generate_spec())
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/sepolicy/generate.py", line 1181, in generate_spec
    selinux_policyver = get_rpm_nvr_list("selinux-policy")[1]
TypeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute '__getitem__'

As the RPM related steps are only needed on RPM-enabled distributions,
we should ignore these steps on other Linux distribution platforms.

In this patch, we use the Python platform module to get the Linux
distribution, and only start the RPM-related activities on Linux
distributions that use RPM as their native package manager.
