The current behavior of priority rules can be non-intuitive with
higher priority rules completely overriding lower priority rules even in
permissions not held in common. This behavior does have use cases but
its can be very confusing, and does not normal policy behavior
Eg.
priority=0 allow r /**,
priority=1 deny w /**,
will result in no allowed permissions even though the deny rule is
only removing the w permission, beause the higher priority rule
completely over ride lower priority permissions sets (including
none shared permissions).
Instead move to tracking the priority at a per permission level. This
allows the w permission to still override at priority 1, while the
read permission is allowed at priority 0.
The final constructed state will still drop priority for the final
permission set on the state.
Note: this patch updates the equality tests for the cases where
the complete override behavior was being tested for.
The complete override behavior will be reintroduced in a future
patch with a keyword extension, enabling that behavior to be used
for ordered blocks etc.

The apparmor_parser allows you to add, replace, and remove AppArmor
policy through the use of command line options. The default is to add.
`apparmor_parser --help` shows what the command line options are.
