id: don't print context=... when POSIXLY_CORRECT is set
* src/id.c (print_full_info) [POSIXLY_CORRECT]: Don't print context.
Reported by Ulrich Drepper.

security context, when possible, and when POSIXLY_CORRECT is not set.
* tests/id/no-context: New file. Test for this.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
