[apparmor] [patch] is_known_rule(): check includes recursively

Hello,

is_known_rule() in aa.py checked only direct includes, but not includes
in the included files. As a result, aa-logprof asked about things that
are already covered by an indirect include.

For example, the dovecot/auth profile includes abstractions/nameservice,
and abstractions/nameservice includes abstractions/nis, which contains
"capability net_bind_service,".
Nevertheless, aa-logprof asked to add capability net_bind_service.

Reproducer: (asks for net_bind_service without this patch, should not
ask for anything after applying the patch):
python3 aa-logprof -d ../profiles/apparmor.d/ -f <(echo 'type=AVC msg=audit(1415403814.628:662): apparmor="ALLOWED" operation="capable" profile="/usr/lib/dovecot/auth" pid=15454 comm="auth" capability=13  capname="net_bind_service"')

The patch adds code to check include files included by other include
files. Note that python doesn't allow to change a list while looping
over it, therefore we have to use "while incname" as workaround. 

This fixes a regression for network rules (this patch is based on the
old match_net_include() code). Funnily it "only" fixes capability rule
handling (without the "regression" part) because the old
match_cap_include() didn't do the recursive include handling.
