Stop calling ldd in aa-genprof and aa-autodep
In some cases, ldd might obtain information by executing the given
binary (see ldd(1)) - which is not something we should do on potentially
unknown binaries, especially because aa-genprof and aa-autodep (and
therefore also ldd) are often started as root.

Additionally, the ldd result typically listed libraries already covered
by abstractions/base, which makes the ldd call superfluous.

While on it,
- remove all references to ldd
- remove code only used for calling ldd and handling its results
- remove tests checking ldd results, and the fake_ldd script
- adjust a test where fake_ldd had added some libraries
- remove ldd path from logprof.conf [settings]

Test data generated elsewhere

The tests in parser generate additional test profiles in parser/tst/simple_tests/: see gen-dbus.py and gen-xtrans.py.

utils/test/test-parser-simple-tests.py uses this test data when it is available. If this test data has not been generated, this test will not complain: it will simply exercise fewer test profiles.

Running individual tests

Python's unittest allows individual tests to be executed by specifying the class name and the test on the command line. When running tests individually, the unittest framework executes the "setUp" and "tearDown" methods automatically. For more information, refer to the unittest documentation.

Make sure to set the environment variables pointing to the in-tree apparmor modules, and the in-tree libapparmor and its python wrapper:

$ export PYTHONPATH=..:../../libraries/libapparmor/swig/python/build/$(/usr/bin/python3 ../../libraries/libapparmor/swig/python/test/buildpath.py)
$ export __AA_CONFDIR=.

To execute the test individually, run:

$ python3 ./test-tile.py ClassFoo.test_bar
