[refpolicy] Showing role attributes + issue when calling selinux utilities

[qingtao.cao@windriver.com (Harry Ciao)]

I am very glad finally someone else also discovered this issue. I had 
discovered it months ago and posted a patch to fix it, however, it had 
not been integrated or even acked.

Please search for my two emails entitled as "Make role attributes able 
to type their "own" types." sent around 2011-12-15 to the refpolicy 
mailing list.

Aside from new_roles and run_init_roles, some other role attributes such 
as groupadd_roles, useradd_roles and chfn_roles should have been able to 
type with their counterpart domains.

Thanks,
Harry
