  1. deps: switch to moby/sys/capability

    github.com/moby/sys/capability is a fork of the (no longer maintained)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
    
    Note that the "workaround for RHEL6" is removed for a number of reasons.
    Feel free to choose the one you like the most, either is sufficient:
    
    1. /proc/sys/kernel/cap_last_cap is available since RHEL 6.7
       (kernel 2.6.32-573.el6), released 9 years ago (2015-07-22).
    
    2. It incorrectly returns CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND (36), which was only added
       in kernel v3.5 and was never backported to RHEL6 kernels. The
       correct value for RHEL6 would be CAP_MAC_ADMIN (33).
    
    3. As far as upstream kernels go, /proc/sys/kernel/cap_last_cap was
       added in kernel v3.2, and a correct value depends on the kernel
       version. It could be CAP_WAKE_ALARM (35), added to kernel v3.0, or
       CAP_SYSLOG (34), added to kernel v2.6.38, or possibly a lesser value
       for even older kernels.
