profiles: enable USE=xattr by default #506198 #556408

Extended attributes are needed to support filesystem caps, selinux, and
the new PaX file markings (to move away from binutils ELF headers).  We
already assume it's enabled in our release media and documentation, so
update the default profile to match.
