* .dir-locals.el: Use setq-local on guix-directory.  While a problem with
using setq hasn't been identified, this seems like good hygiene.

.dir-locals.el: Prevent errors if .dir-locals.el isn't found.

While this repo should presumably always have a .dir-locals.el
by the nature of this file itself, it seems that this behavior "leaks".
See added comment for more details on the fix to this strange bug,
which is likely an upstream emacs or vc-mode issue.

Thanks to Miguel Ángel Arruga Vivas and Maxim Cournoyer for helping
investigate this problem.

* .dir-locals.el: Don't error out if .dir-locals.el isn't found.

This is a followup to 6799e6e5780683cc20f250192fb84cbec135073b, which
rightfully removed the '.cil' file from the distribution, but wrongfully
installed the '.cil.in' file instead of the '.cil' file.

* Makefile.am (nodist_selinux_policy_DATA): Remove ".in".
