user namespaces: require cap_set{ug}id for CLONE_NEWUSER
While ideally CLONE_NEWUSER will eventually require no
privilege, the required permission checks are currently
not there. As a result, CLONE_NEWUSER has the same effect
as a setuid(0)+setgroups(1,"0"). While we already require
CAP_SYS_ADMIN, requiring CAP_SETUID and CAP_SETGID seems
appropriate.
