[refpolicy] number of categories

It seems that everyone is using 1024 categories (Fedora/RHEL counts as "almost 
everyone" and Debian counts as "almost everyone else").

I think it's the best thing to have the upstream policy defaults match what is 
being most commonly used when there is no good reason to do otherwise, and as 
the number of categories is entirely arbitrary there can't be a good reason to 
do otherwise.

Please apply a patch like the attached one.  If nothing else it will save 
about 50 lines from each distribution's patch.
