User checks customization

Thanks to Robin who did all the hard work, chk can now be customized for users. This allow to avoid ACLs for a certain file hierarchy, or force some custom ones on another. For instance, I use these, in my ~/.licorn/check.conf: 

source	NOACL
build	NOACL
Projects	NOACL

This allow debian tools not to crash when building packages or scanning source trees.

There is a little loss in performances, but the win is clear compared to before. We will optimize the code on next performance run (there is a dedicated ticket for that).

System ACLs rules can be fully customized (with only a few sane exceptions) by administrators. For more details,  there's a bunch of related documentation!
