checkmodule: add support for specifying module policy version
Currently checkpolicy can produce binary policies for earlier policy versions
to provide support for building policies on one machine and loading/analyzing
them on another machine with an earlier version of the kernel or libsepol,
respectively. However, checkmodule was lacking this capability.
This commit adds an identical `-c` flag that can be passed to checkmodule that
will build a modular policy file of the specified version.
