Seth Hoenig e365652e81 drivers: fixup linux version dependent test cases
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.

Seth Hoenig f64baec276 docs: update docs for linux capabilities in exec/java/docker drivers
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.

Seth Hoenig 87c96eed11 drivers/docker: reuse capabilities plumbing in docker driver
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.

Seth Hoenig 2361a91938 drivers/java: enable setting allow_caps on java driver
Enable setting allow_caps on the java task driver plugin, along
with the associated cap_add and cap_drop options in java task
configuration.

Seth Hoenig 5b8a32f23d drivers/exec: enable setting allow_caps on exec driver
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.
