Per Andrew Morgan's request, add a securebit to allow admins to
disable PR_CAP_AMBIENT_RAISE.  This securebit will prevent processes
from adding capabilities to their ambient set.

For simplicity, this disables PR_CAP_AMBIENT_RAISE entirely rather
than just disabling setting previously cleared bits.
