In one of my previous patches I've tried to postpone dropping
CAP_SETPCAP until the very end because it's needed for
capng_apply(). What I did not realize back then was that we might
not have the capability to begin with. Because of unknown reasons
capng_apply() pollutes logs only for CAPNG_SELECT_BOUNDS and not
for CAPNG_SELECT_CAPS.
Reproducer is really simple: run libvirtd as a regular user.
During its initialization, libvirtd will spawn some binaries
(dnsmasq, qemu-*, etc.) and while doing so it will try to drop
capabilities.
Anyway, let's call capng_apply(CAPNG_SELECT_BOUNDS) only if we
have the CAP_SETPCAP (which is tracked in need_setpcap variable).

==============================
Libvirt API for virtualization
==============================
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management
daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the
API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.
Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other
languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as
mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
