Implement SELinux sysfs check to see if the system is in enforcing
mode and print warning message with pointers to check audit logs.

This removal of a newline doesn't seem necessary to this patch.

Here we need as well to check if the kernel/libcap supports CAP_PERFMON
to provide a better error message.

There will be break in the middle of the message then, but ok.

I will change change "CAP_PERFMON" to "CAP_PERFMON or CAP_SYS_ADMIN" in the new message.
