* CVE-2025-9640: uninitialized memory disclosure via vfs_streams_xattr (bsc#1251279).

- Relax samba-gpupdate requirement for cepces, certmonger, and sscep to a recommends. They are only required if utilizing certificate auto enrollment (bsc#1249087).

- Disable timeouts for smb.service so that possibly slow running ExecStartPre script 'update-samba-security-profile' doesn't cause service start to fail due to timeouts (bsc#1249181).

- Ensure semanage is pulled in as a requirement when samba in installed when selinux security access mechanism that is used (bsc#1249180).

- don't attempt to label paths that don't exist, also remove unecessary evaluation of semange & restorecon cmds (bsc#1249179).

Update to 4.22.4:

* netr_LogonSamLogonEx returns NR_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED with SysvolReady=0
* getpwuid does not shift to new DC when current DC is down
* Windows security hardening locks out schannel'ed netlogon dc calls like netr_DsRGetDCName-
* Unresponsive second DC can cause idmapping failure when using idmap_ad-
* kinit command is failing with Missing cache Error.
* Figuring out the DC name from IP address fails and breaks fork_domain_child().
* vfs_streams_depot fstatat broken.
* Delayed leader broadcast can block ctdb forever.
* Apparently there is a conflict between shadow_copy2 module and virusfilter (action quarantine).
* Fix handling of empty GPO link.
* SMB ACL inheritance doesn't work for files created.

- adjust gpgme build dependency for future-proofing
