nspawn,man: use a common vocabulary when referring to selinux security contexts
Let's always call the security labels the same way: SMACK: "Smack Label" SELINUX: "SELinux Security Context" And the low-level encapsulation is called "seclabel". Now let's hope we stick to this vocabulary in future, too, and don't mix "label"s and "security contexts" and so on wildly.
