Chroot: remove merge policies 

The chroot server was conceived to automatically place File_system
sessions into segregated root directories by converting session labels
to paths. If multiple children needed to be grouped under the same path,
a 'merge' policy would truncate the session label before path conversion.
Now that init can rewrite session labels and thus reproduce truncation,
the chroot merge feature is redundant and can be removed.

Fix #2846

This component intercepts File_system requests and changes
the root directory of the request using the session label.
the root directory attached to requests as defined by
policy or by converting session label elements to a
hierarchy of directories.
In this example if cli_monitor had a child named "X", every
file system session from "X" would be rooted to the directory
"/cli_monitor/X" at "fs_server".
Sessions matching policies with _path_ attributes will be "chrooted" to the
configured policy path, sessions not matching policies with _path_ attributes
will be chrooted into paths formed from each session label element. Sessions
requests are downgraded to read-only requests unless matched by polices
with an affirmative _writeable_ attribute. Sessions not matching any
policy are rejected.

In addition, the 'chroot' component will intercept the 'writeable' session
argument and only if its own policy allows it (i.e. the 'writeable' attribute
is to 'yes') the child is permitted to create a writeable connection.
Please note that this server is only effective for File_system servers that
honor the "root" or "writeable" argument to session requests.
