a lot of binaries symlink to /bin/alts, which is an alternative to
update-alternatives, see:
https://github.com/openSUSE/libalternatives
https://manpages.opensuse.org/Tumbleweed/alts/alts.1.en.html

this causes issues like e.g. bsc#1216903 because:
```
$ ls -Zal /usr/sbin/iptables
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 11 Oct 24 20:13
/usr/sbin/iptables -> ../bin/alts*
```

/sbin/iptables should be labeled iptables_exec_t to work properly, but
/bin/alts should not

so we need to adjust the policy to support that
