The AVC denial was about squid_t trying to access var_run_t.

If unconfined_t executed squid_exec_t then the domain would not be
squid_t.

If squid would run as squid_t then the pid would not be var_run_t.

The AVC denial does not seem to make sense. Maybe only if two squid
processes were running, one unconfined and one confined, that were
conflicting.
