Mikhail Morfikov d4e0a94511 abstractions: Add missing rule in wutmp abstraction
Currently the wutmp abstraction has the following rules:
  /var/log/lastlog  rwk,
  /var/log/wtmp     wk,
  @{run}/utmp       rwk,

According to what I see in my apparmor profiles, just a few apps want
to interact with the files listed above, especially with the
/var/log/wtmp . But when the apps do this, they sometimes want the
read access to this file. An example could be the last command. Is
there any reason for not having the r in the rule?  The second thing
is the file /var/log/btmp (which isn't included in the
abstracion). Whenever I see an app, which wants to access the
/var/log/wtmp file, it also tries to interact with the /var/log/btmp
file, for instance lightdm/sddm or su . Most of the time they need
just wk permissions, but sometimes apps need also r on this file, an
example could be the lastb command, which is just a link to last.
