This new call takes two image policy objects and generates an "intersection" policy, i.e. only allows what is allowed by both. Or in other words it conceptually implements a binary AND of the policy flags. (Except that it's a bit harder, due to normalization, and underspecified flags). We can use this later for mountfsd: a client can specify a policy, and mountfsd can specify another policy, and we'll then apply only what both allow. Note that a policy generated like this might be invalid. For example, if one policy says root must exist and be verity or luks protected, and the other policy says root must be absent, then the intersection is invalid, since one policy only allows what the other prohibits and vice versa. We'll return a clear error code in that case (ENAVAIL). (This is because we simply don't allow encoding such impossible policies in an ImagePolicy structure, for good reasons.)
