Subject: Add cap reduction support to enable use as SUID

The ideal way to use qemu-bridge-helper is to give it an fscap of using:

 setcap cap_net_admin=ep qemu-bridge-helper

Unfortunately, most distros still do not have a mechanism to package files
with fscaps applied.  This means they'll have to SUID the qemu-bridge-helper
binary.

To improve security, use libcap to reduce our capability set to just
cap_net_admin, then reduce privileges down to the calling user.  This is
hopefully close to equivalent to fscap support from a security perspective.
