[PATCH] Mention disabling SELinux in HACKING

[PATCH] Mention disabling SELinux in HACKING

[Rafael Ávila de Espíndola]

Running bluetoothd from the build directory I noticed that as soon as
a bluetooth audio device was connect, bluetoothd would be disconnected
from dbus and print

Disconnected from D-Bus. Exiting.

Luiz Augusto von Dentz suggested trying with SELinux disabled and that
solved the problem.

This patch just documents how to disable SELinux before running
bluetoothd from the build directory. I would love to say more about
why that is needed, but could not find anything on the audit log.
