system admin needs to use mdadm, but type is not allowed

After a quick discussion with dominique, new attempt due to two issues:

1. No need (or even forbidden) to have "role $1 types foo_exec_t"
2. Suggestion to use the raid_run_mdadm name instead of raid_mdadm_role. The
   idea here is to use raid_mdadm_role for prefixed domains (cfr. screen)
   whereas raid_run_mdadm is to transition and run into a specific domain

Without wanting to (re?)start any discussion on prefixed versus non-prefixed
domains, such a naming convention could help us to keep the reference policy
cleaner (and naming conventions easy).

Also, refpolicy InterfaceNaming document only talks about run, not role.

So, without much further ado... ;-)

  The system administrator (sysadm_r role) needs to use mdadm, but is not
  allowed to use the mdadm_t type.

  Rather than extend raid_domtrans_mdadm to allow this as well, use a
  raid_mdadm_role (a bit more conform other role usages).

  The other users of raid_domtrans_mdadm are all domains that run in system_r
  role, which does have this type allowed (as per the system/raid.te
  definition), so it wouldn't hurt to use raid_domtrans_mdadm for this.
