[PATCH 1/2] apparmor: allow adding permanent per guest rules

The design of apparmor in libvirt always had a way to define custom
per-guest rules as described in docs/drvqemu.html and [1].

A fix meant to clean the profiles after guest shutdown was a bit
overzealous and accidentially removed this important admin feature as
well.

Therefore reduce the --delete option of virt-aa-helper to only delete
the .files that would be re-generated in any case.

Users/Admins are always free to clean the profiles themselve if they
prefer a clean directory - they will be regenerated as needed. But
libvirt should never remove the base profile meant to allow per-guest
overrides and thereby break a documented feature.

Fixes: eba2225b "apparmor: delete profile on VM shutdown"
