Binary package hint: apparmor

When generating a bug report about apparmor, if apport is run as non-root, the apparmor_status program fails because it needs privilege to read the loaded state of the apparmor policies. This results in the ApparmorStatusOutput containing the following:

  Error: command /usr/sbin/apparmor_status failed with exit code 4: You do not have enough privilege to read the profile set.
  apparmor module is loaded.

(as it is in this bug report). The invocation of apparmor_status in the apport hook should be converted to use root_command_hook so that, if the user is capable of running with privilege, they can include the status output.

The attached patch does this.
