Remove <apparmor/> from default system.conf, session.conf

The AppArmor and SELinux modes both default to "enabled" (i.e.
enable it if and only if it is supported), so there is no need to
add their element to system.conf unless a system integrator wants
to set them to either required or disabled.

However, if we add <apparmor/> on upgrade from 1.9.10 to 1.9.12,
any subsequent attempts to reload bus configuration before the
next reboot will fail, because the dbus-daemon that is already
running does not support that element.

This situation would be unavoidable if we added new syntax that we needed to use straight away, but in this case there's no value other than making the file a little more self-documenting.

Anyone contemplating changing LSM support settings should know enough to read the man page, or preferably, the source code :-)

This makes sense to me.
