suggested patch

Description of problem:
Bitlbee can be run in the multiple modes:

* Inetd -- Run from inetd
* Daemon -- Run as a stand-alone daemon, serving all users from one process.  This saves memory if there are more users, the downside is that when one user hits a crash-bug, all other users will also lose their connection.
* ForkDaemon -- Run as a stand-alone daemon, but keep all clients in separate child processes. This should be pretty safe and reliable to use instead of inetd mode.

Many recent developments in bitlbee are limited only to the ForkedDaemon mode which is also recommended (https://github.com/bitlbee/bitlbee/blob/master/doc/README). Fedora/RHEL packages used to use the Daemon mode (because it used to be the most tested one and worked best with SELinux), but recently Rawhide packages switched to ForkedDaemon. However the daemon mode is deprecated now, and further support for it is limited at best. If we want to keep bitlbee in RHEL-7 in the more or less up-to-date state for some time, we should switch to ForkDaemon.

Package itself could be easily changed by the attached patch, but we need to backport also SELinux policy from Fedora to RHEL. I hope the change is in the commit http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/selinux-policy.git/commit/?id=f6c1168684e38f13c6febb64c796099d24500fd9 but completely certain about it.

Should I make a clone for RHEL_7 selinux-policy package?
