[v1] security: add trace event for cap_capable

In cases where we want a stable way to observe/trace
cap_capable (e.g. protection from inlining and API updates)
add a tracepoint that passes:
- The credentials used
- The user namespace which needs the capability
- The user namespace that actually has the capability (if one exists)
- The capability to check for
- Bitmask of options defined in include/linux/security.h
- The return value of the check
