Jonathan Corbet f2e65e4e5b docs: threat-model: don't limit root capabilities to CAP_SYS_ADMIN ...

The threat-model document says that only users with CAP_SYS_ADMIN can carry
out a number of admin-level tasks, but there are numerous capabilities that
can confer that sort of power.  Generalize the text slightly to make it
clear that CAP_SYS_ADMIN is not the only all-powerful capability.
