Subject: [RFC] [PATCH 2/2] capabilities: implement 64-bit capabilities

We are out of capabilities in the 32-bit capability fields, and
several users could make use of additional capabilities.
Convert the capabilities to 64-bits, change the capability
version number accordingly, and convert the file capability
code to handle both 32-bit and 64-bit file capability xattrs.

It might seem desirable to also implement back-compatibility
to read 32-bit caps from userspace, but that becomes
problematic with capget, as capget could return valid info
for processes not using high bits, but would have to return
-EINVAL for those which were.

So with this patch, libcap would need to be updated to make
use of capset/capget.
