collectd: Control SELinux domain permissiveness

It seems with each new release of Fedora, some feature or other of
*collectd* gets broken.  In Feodra 36, the *interfaces* plugin does not
seem to work reliably, and the *md* plugin logs a *lot* of errors.
While these issues are investigated upstream, we either need to manage
our own policy for collectd or mark the `collectd_t` domain permissive.
I chose the latter because I'm lazy and I don't consider collectd to be
that big of a threat to security.
