      Description of problem:
      When an instance is created using dscreate under non-root user, there is a scary looking ambiguous warning:

      > Selinux support will be disabled, continue? [yes]:

      It's not clear to the user what exactly are the implications (system-wide disabling of SELinux?).

      We should provide a better wording for this question, for example

      > SELinux contexts for instance files will not be applied, continue? [yes]:

      Or remove it completely, since there is no other choice and the implications are benign.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
      389-ds-base-2.1.5-4.module+el9dsrv+16995+8a75ed16.x86_64
