[PATCH RFC] security: tomoyo: Add default builtin-policy.h for default policy

When checking tomoyo code there is an include for a file that is not
included on kernel-source since it's generated at build time, and the
kernel-source uses git archive to create the tarball.

Having the source code referencing a file that is not included in the
tarball can confuse tools that inspect/parse code, since the file is not
there.

The builtin-policy.h added is generated from the same default policy
that already exists on policy/ directory, so it doesn't break the
current usage of that file.

Hello, I sent this patch because we saw some issues while running
clang-extract[1] on tomoyo given CVE 2024-26622. Since clang-extract
parses the C files it failed to find builtin-policy.h. As a bandaid, I
had to add
	-DCONFIG_SECURITY_TOMOYO_INSECURE_BUILTIN_SETTING

to clang-extract (we feed the gcc arguments used to compile common.c got
from compile_commands.json on kernel-source).

Per my tests it works with my patch, and I don't see why this would hurt
to have builtin-policy.h on git, since it would regenerate the file if
the policy scripts are changed.

Please let me know if I'm missing something here.

Thanks!
