Feature #3176: Extend the File type to manage filesystem capabilities

It's starting to sound like Linux's capabilities are going to be the next Big 
Thing. Puppet should be able to enforce various capabilities on files.

I imagine something like

file "/usr/sbin/tcpdump": {
  capabilities => [ "CAP_NET_RAW" ],
}

which would do the equivalent of running 
  setcap cap_net_raw=ep /usr/sbin/tcpdump

I don't see evidence of Ruby bindings for libcap2 at this time. See 
capabilities(7) for more information.
