On Android, the label_file.c file is compiled for all platforms,
including OSX. OSX has a slightly different prototype for the
getxattr function.

ssize_t getxattr(const char *path, const char *name, void *value, size_t size, u_int32_t position, int options);

which causes a compile error when compiling libselinux on OSX.

  ```
  external/selinux/libselinux/src/label_file.c:1038:37: error: too few arguments to function call, expected 6, have 4
                                       read_digest, SHA1_HASH_SIZE);
                                                                ^

  ssize_t getxattr(const char *path, const char *name, void *value, size_t size, u_int32_t position, int options);
  ^
  1 error generated.
  ```

On OSX builds, add the additional arguments so that the code compiles.

As both SELinux labels and the restorecon partial digest are stored in
extended attributes, it's theoretically possible that someone
could assign SELinux labels and hash digests on OSX filesystems.
Doing so would be extremely weird and completely untested, but
theoretically possible.

Wondering why the getxattr() call isn't done in the selinux_restorecon 
code instead, or why this is needed as a separate selabel_ interface at 
all. Probably too late though to change it though without breaking API/ABI.

This is now applied.  Unless there is a real reason to export it outside 
libselinux, we may wish to remove 
selabel_get_digests_all_partial_matches() from label.h and the man 
pages, drop the sample util, possibly add a selinux_log() deprecation 
warning to the selabel_get_digests_all_partial_matches() function to 
discourage any further use, and switch selinux_restorecon over to using 
its own private copy of the same logic.  Then maybe someday we can drop 
it, but that would technically be an ABI break even if there are no 
other users beyond the sample util.
