This, worked fine until the introduction of sd-executor. For a non-root process to be started with elevated capabilities by a non-root parent it either needs file capabilities or ambient capabilities in the parent process. Thus, systemd needs to allow sd-executor to inherit its ambient capabilities and sd-executor should drop them as systemd did before. The ambient set is managed for both system and session managers, but with the default set for PID#1 being empty, this code does not affect operation of PID#1.
