nixos/wrappers: fix applying capabilities

With libcap 2.41 the output of cap_to_text changed, also the original
author of code hoped that this would never happen.
To counter this now the security-wrapper only relies on the syscall
ABI, which is more stable and robust than string parsing. If new
breakages occur this will be more obvious because version numbers will
be incremented.
Furthermore all errors no make execution explicitly fail instead of
hiding errors behind debug environment variables and the code style was
more consistent with no goto fail; goto fail; vulnerabilities (https://gotofail.com/)

// We use `cap_to_text` and iteration over the tokenized result
// string because, as of libcap's current release, there is no
// facility for retrieving an array of `cap_value_t`'s that can be
// given to `prctl` in order to lift that capability into the
// Ambient set.
//
// Some discussion was had around shot-gunning all of the
// capabilities we know about into the Ambient set but that has a
// security smell and I deemed the risk of the current
// implementation crashing the program to be lower than the risk
// of a privilege escalation security hole being introduced by
// raising all capabilities, even ones we didn't intend for the
// program, into the Ambient set.
//
// `cap_t` which is returned by `cap_get_*` is an opaque type and
// even if we could retrieve the bitmasks (which, as far as I can
// tell we cannot) in order to get the `cap_value_t`
// representation for each capability we would have to take the
// total number of capabilities supported and iterate over the
// sequence of integers up-to that maximum total, testing each one
// against the bitmask ((bitmask >> n) & 1) to see if it's set and
// aggregating each "capability integer n" that is set in the
// bitmask.
//
// That, combined with the fact that we can't easily get the
// bitmask anyway seemed much more brittle than fetching the
// `cap_t`, transforming it into a textual representation,
// tokenizing the string, and using `cap_from_name` on the token
// to get the `cap_value_t` that we need for `prctl`. There is
// indeed risk involved if the output string format of
// `cap_to_text` ever changes but at this time the combination of
// factors involving the below list have led me to the conclusion
// that the best implementation at this time is reading then
// parsing with *lots of documentation* about why we're doing it
// this way.
//
// 1. No explicit API for fetching an array of `cap_value_t`'s or
// for transforming a `cap_t` into such a representation
// 2. The risk of a crash is lower than lifting all capabilities
// into the Ambient set
// 3. libcap is depended on heavily in the Linux ecosystem so
// there is a high chance that the output representation of
// `cap_to_text` will not change which reduces our risk that
// this parsing step will cause a crash
//
// The preferred method, should it ever be available in the
// future, would be to use libcap API's to transform the result
// from a `cap_get_*` into an array of `cap_value_t`'s that can
// then be given to prctl.
