Recently we moved from github.com/syndtr/gocapability to
github.com/moby/sys/capability due to the former package no longer being
maintainer. The new package's capability function works differently: the
known/supported functionality is split now, and the .ListSupported() call will
always return an empty list on non-linux systems. This means Nomad agents won't
start on darwin or windows.
github.com/moby/sys/capability is a fork of the (no longer maintained)
github.com/syndtr/gocapability package.
For changes since the fork took place, see
https://github.com/moby/sys/blob/main/capability/CHANGELOG.md
Note that the "workaround for RHEL6" is removed for a number of reasons.
Feel free to choose the one you like the most, either is sufficient:
1. /proc/sys/kernel/cap_last_cap is available since RHEL 6.7
(kernel 2.6.32-573.el6), released 9 years ago (2015-07-22).
2. It incorrectly returns CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND (36), which was only added
in kernel v3.5 and was never backported to RHEL6 kernels. The
correct value for RHEL6 would be CAP_MAC_ADMIN (33).
3. As far as upstream kernels go, /proc/sys/kernel/cap_last_cap was
added in kernel v3.2, and a correct value depends on the kernel
version. It could be CAP_WAKE_ALARM (35), added to kernel v3.0, or
CAP_SYSLOG (34), added to kernel v2.6.38, or possibly a lesser value
for even older kernels.

The error output being checked depends on the linux caps supported
by the particular operating system. Fix these test cases to just
check that an error did occur.
Update docs for allow_caps, cap_add, cap_drop in exec/java/docker driver
pages. Also update upgrade guide with guidance on new default linux
capabilities for exec and java drivers.
This changeset does not introduce any functional change for the
docker driver, but rather cleans up the implementation around
computing configured capabilities by re-using code written for
the exec/java task drivers.
This PR enables setting allow_caps on the exec driver
plugin configuration, as well as cap_add and cap_drop in
exec task configuration. These options replicate the
functionality already present in the docker task driver.
Important: this change also reduces the default set of
capabilities enabled by the exec driver to match the
default set enabled by the docker driver. Until v1.0.5
the exec task driver would enable all capabilities supported
by the operating system. v1.0.5 removed NET_RAW from that
list of default capabilities, but left may others which
could potentially also be leveraged by compromised tasks.
Important: the "root" user is still special cased when
used with the exec driver. Older versions of Nomad enabled
enabled all capabilities supported by the operating system
for tasks set with the root user. To maintain compatibility
with existing clusters we continue supporting this "feature",
however we maintain support for the legacy set of capabilities
rather than enabling all capabilities now supported on modern
operating systems.
