[mutter/wip/carlosg/rt-scheduler: 1/2] core: Drop all capabilities before running the main loop

[Carlos Garnacho <carlosg src gnome org>]

commit a055b01216c5a3a7015024956824be9641654933
Author: Carlos Garnacho <carlosg gnome org>

    core: Drop all capabilities before running the main loop
    
    Add an optional dependency on libcap-ng, if the library is detected
    drop all capabilities by default, in order to allow packagers/users
    to do "setcap CAP_SYS_NICE=+ep `which gnome-shell`" and let it set
    higher priorities it wouldn't be allowed to.
    
    Examples are: EGL_IMG_context_priority, SCHED_RR.
