grsecurity: add option to disable chroot caps restriction
The chroot caps restriction disallows chroot'ed processes from running
any command that requires `CAP_SYS_ADMIN`, breaking `nixos-rebuild`. See
e.g., https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/15293

This significantly weakens chroot protections, but to break
nixos-rebuild out of the box is too severe.
