When operating on an alternate root (--root/--image), SELinux labels must come from that root's policy, not the host's. This requires opening a separate selabel_handle against the target's policy database and remembering the root path for prefix stripping. Introduce LabelContext to carry both, and mac_label_context_new() to set it up: it reads the target's SELinux config, validates SELINUXTYPE to prevent path traversal, sets the policy root, and opens a label database scoped to the target image.
