Clarify enabling/disabling procedures for SELinux

* Simplify list of required packages (and add `grubby`).
* Move Disabled -> Enforcing steps from `changing-to-enforcing-mode` to
  `enabling-selinux`.
* In `changing-to-enforcing-mode`, use the correct procedure based on
  whether SELinux is currently Permissive or Disabled.
* Add step for ensuring that filesystem is relabeled when re-enabling
  SELinux.

When SELinux is running in enforcing mode, it enforces the SELinux policy and denies access based on SELinux policy rules. In Fedora, enforcing mode is enabled by default when the system was initially installed with SELinux.
If SELinux was disabled, follow the procedure below to change mode to enforcing again:
This procedure assumes that the [package]*selinux-policy-targeted*, [package]*selinux-policy*, [package]*libselinux*, [package]*libselinux-python*, [package]*libselinux-utils*, [package]*policycoreutils*, and [package]*policycoreutils-python* packages are installed. To verify that the packages are installed, use the following command:
[subs="quotes"]

~]$ rpm -q _package_name_

First check the current SELinux mode by running the [command]`getenforce` command. If it displays `Disabled`, then follow <<{context}-enabling-selinux>>. Otherwise, if it displays `Permissive`, follow the procedure below to change mode to enforcing again:
. Edit the `/etc/selinux/config` file as follows:
