When SELinux is enabled, do not create a symbolic link to a "resolv.conf"

regular file in /etc.

This is to avoid creating policy permissions to read files in the other
non-standard "resolv.conf" directories for each application that needs to
access the network.

Maybe better to:

1) Standardize e.g. `/run/resolv.conf` and have labeling set up for it
2) Change NetworkManager to label the file as `etc_t` which it likely
   has permission to do so already
