daemon: Don't rely on prctl(PR_SET_KEEPCAPS, 0) for dropping caps.

Browse source 
Capability dropping when changing the user in the system
mode was previously implemented by calling
prctl(PR_SET_KEEPCAPS, 0), but that doesn't necessarily
work. It's possible that the KEEPCAPS flag is locked to 1,
in which case the prctl() call fails with EPERM (this
happens at least on Harmattan). This patch implements
explicit capability dropping after changing the user.
