Add a __caps_unpriv annotation so that tests requiring specific capabilities while dropping the rest can conveniently specify them during selftest declaration instead of munging with capabilities at runtime from the testing binary. While at it, let us convert test_verifier_mtu to use this new support instead. Since we do not want to include linux/capability.h, we only defined the four main capabilities BPF subsystem deals with in bpf_misc.h for use in tests. If the user passes a CAP_SYS_NICE or anything else that's not defined in the header, capability parsing code will return a warning. Also reject strtol returning 0. CAP_CHOWN = 0 but we'll never need to use it, and strtol doesn't errno on failed conversion. Fail the test in such a case. The original diff for this idea is available at link [0].

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
