This PR improves pkg/capabilities and switches it to using the new fork. Please see individual commits for details.

Currently a draft pending

github.com/moby/sys/capability fork of the (no longer maintained) github.com/syndtr/gocapability package.

For changes since the fork took place, see https://github.com/moby/sys/blob/main/capability/CHANGELOG.md

Kernel 2.6.32-573.el6, released 2015-07-22 as part of RHEL 6.7,
supports cap_last_cap file, so there is no need for a workaround.

sync.OnceValues is available since Go 1.21 and allows to have less
global variables when using sync.Once.

slices.Sort was introduced in Go 1.21. As the code already imports
slices, using slices.Sort allows to have one less package imported.

Replace init and the two global variables with two functions, capList
and capStrList, wrapped in sync.OnceValues.

This way, there is no runtime overhead of merely including this package,
as these functions are executed as needed, not during program
initialization.

While at it:
 - rename getCapName to capName for brewity;
 - use slices.DeleteFunc in capList to filter the slice in place instead
   of making a copy (less garbage to collect);
 - improve AllCapabilities documentation.

Note that currently neither function returns an error; this is a
preparation for the next patch.
