metadata: get and set policies from go
This commit adds in the ability to get and set policy data from go using
the GetPolicy and SetPolicy functions. This is done via a patch of the
x/sys/unix package that exposes the filesystem encryption structures.
Note that not all the fields of the PolicyData protocol buffer are
needed to get and set policies. The wrapped_policy_keys are not used and
will be written and read by other components of fscrypt.
To run the policy tests, the environment variable BASE_TEST_DIR must be
set to a directory for testing on a filesystem that supports encryption.
