            Log:
            test if fapolicyd can create /var/lib/rpm/.dbenv.lock

Recent testing of the fapolicyd service revealed that the service
wants to write to /var/lib/rpm directory and create .dbenv.lock
file there. This action was denied by SELinux because the SELinux policy
brought by fapolicyd is missing an appropriate rule.

I believe this access should be allowed because the fapolicyd service
uses a rpmdb backend which is responsible for such activity.

The automated TC checks if appropriate policy rules are present, but it
does not reproduce the issue (it only appears during a reboot).

The TC covers BZ#1876538.
