I don't see any objections, so I'll take a patch that eliminates the
role-derived cronjob domains, including unconfined_cronjob_t. That
would only leave the system_cronjob_t domain for running jobs out of
/etc/cron*. User cronjobs would run out of the user's actual domain.
The userspace files (eg default_contexts) files would need to be updated
too.
