Remove dependence on libcap. libcap is only used to query whether a capability is supported, which is just 1 capget system call. If the capget system call fails, fall back on root permission checking. Previously if libcap fails then the permission is assumed not present which may be pessimistic/wrong. Add a used_root out argument to perf_cap__capable to say whether the fall back root check was used. This allows the correct error message, "root" vs "users with the CAP_PERFMON or CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability", to be selected. Tidy uses of perf_cap__capable so that tests aren't repeated if capget isn't supported.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
