[libvirt] [PATCH 1/8] virt-aa-helper: Ask for no deny rule for readonly disk elements

From: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn at ubuntu.com>

Just because a disk element only requests read access doesn't mean
there may not be another readwrite request.

Using 'R' when creating the apparmor rule will prevent an implicit
write-deny rule to be created alongside. This does not mean write
is allowed but it would cause a denial message and probably more
relevant, allows to add write access later.
