example module

The default implementation of portage synchronization with rsync utilizes gpg-verification, however the current SELinux policy (sec-policy/selinux-base-policy) currently disallows said verification.

To fix this I propose that we either create a boolean (enabled by default) that allows for portage_fetch_t to read /dev/urandom or that we skip the boolean and just merge it in.

I created a module for this that I personally use, see attached file.
