Description

refer: https://www.gnu.org/software/findutils/manual/html_node/find_html/Mode-Bits.html

Test: -context pattern
True if file’s SELinux context matches the pattern pattern. 
The pattern uses shell glob matching.

This predicate is supported only on find versions compiled with 
SELinux support and only when SELinux is enabled.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the existing predicate implementations in the codebase to understand the structure, then implement the context predicate by integrating SELinux support and shell glob matching.
