[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Accept --nocaps also for the package installation (#178)

Makes it possible to work around trouble of installing packages that use
file capabilities in user namespaces.

It simply ignores the capabilities as opposed to setting a setuid bit.
This is a safer things to do, but possibly has a negative impact on some tools
(such as ping being usable only by the superuser).
