libsemanage: disable expand-check on policy load

For small policy modules it's not necessary to walk the hierarchy on load.
On embedded devices that are low-powered or resource-constrained disabling
the hierarchy processing can make the difference between seconds and
(many) minutes of load time (or being able to load the policy at all).
