Linux: Retain CAP_NET_ADMIN when dropping privileges
On Linux, when dropping privileges, interaction with
the network configuration, such as tearing down routes
or ovpn-dco interfaces will fail when --user/--group are
used.
This patch sets the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability, which grants
the needed privileges during the lifetime of the OpenVPN
process when dropping root privileges.
