libsepol: add include/sepol/cil symlink for in-tree builds

This patch adds an include/sepol/cil symlink to allow in-tree builds of
SELinux userspace tools to resolve <sepol/cil/cil.h> without a DESTDIR
install.

[Severity: High]
Is this patch intended for the selinux userspace repository?

Applying this patch creates a dangling symlink at the root of the kernel
tree, because the target ../../cil/include/cil does not exist in the Linux
kernel source. It appears this might have been mistakenly applied to the
kernel tree instead of the userspace repository containing libsepol,
secilc, and libsemanage.
