[PATCH RESEND 2/2] selinux: provide matching audit timestamp in the AVC trace event

In order to make it possible for the users and tooling to associate an
SELinux AVC trace event with the corresponding audit event, make it
include the audit timestamp (including the "serial number") of the
event.

First make audit_log_start() include the timestamp in the audit_buffer
struct and add a public helper to retrieve it from an audit_buffer
instance. Then retrieve it in SELinux's avc_audit_post_callback() and
include it in the "avc:selinux_audited" trace event.

After this patch the even includes the numeric fields that make up the
timestamp and the text representation includes the timestamp in the same
format as used in the audit log - e.g. "audit_ts=1671454430.092:1671".
