PATCH 1/1 fixfiles -C: relabel all file contexts that have changed

This fixes the situation where one path is a substring of another path, but not a prefix. For example, if /lib and /var/lib have both changed in the file_contexts file, then /var/lib would not be selected for relabel even though it should.

Thanks, applied.
