[RFC v3 2/2] WhiteEgret: Add an example of user application.

A user application is required to use WhiteEgret.
This RFC provides a sample user application program.
Usage
sample-we-user <exe>
This sample user application always returns "not permit"
for the executable specified by the argument <exe>,
otherwise always returns "permit". Set the absolute path
of an executable to be blocked for <exe>.
Example
sample-we-user /bin/df
Then every executions of /bin/df are blocked.
The other commands can be issued normally.
How to build
To build this sample user application, set option
CONFIG_SAMPLE_WHITEEGRET=y.
Remark
This sample user application does not use a whitelist.
It simply returns "not permit" only when WhiteEgret sends
the absolute path of argv[1] to the application.
The reason why this sample user application adopts
blacklist-like approach is to avoid a host to become
uncontrollable. Namely, if this sample provides a sample
whitelist and it misses indispensable executable components
for a host, the host cannot run or stop normally.
Because indispensable executable components depend on
each environment, we decide not to provide a whitelisting-type
sample user application.
