Title:
  no logging if using non-existent child profile

Bug description:
  Ubuntu recently added the ubuntu-helpers abstraction with the
  sanitized_helper child profile. If I do the following:

  /bin/foo {
     /usr/bin/bar Cxr -> sanitized_helper,
  }

  and then execute /bin/foo, the execution of /usr/bin/bar fails but
  with no logging. This is because in the above profile I forgot to add
  '#include <abstractions/ubuntu-helpers>', which is what defines the
  sanitized_helper profile.

  This can either be fixed in the logging mechanism or apparmor_parser
  should fail if the parent profile references a child profile that is
  not defined.
