capability: reduce prctl syscall when setting ambient cap set #163

@lifubang

Description

@lifubang

Even though the ambient cap set is empty, it will always call PR_CAP_AMBIENT_LOWER for each support caps, in most machines, it will call 40 times.
We can use PR_CAP_AMBIENT_CLEAR_ALL to avoid this big for loop to reduce the prctl syscall times.

Please see:

if kind&AMBS == AMBS {
for i := Cap(0); i <= last; i++ {
action := pr_CAP_AMBIENT_LOWER
if c.Get(AMBIENT, i) {
action = pr_CAP_AMBIENT_RAISE
}
err = prctl(pr_CAP_AMBIENT, action, uintptr(i), 0, 0)
if err != nil {
