Change 134007 by rwatson@rwatson_freebsd_capabilities on 2008/01/24 13:34:21

	Add ENOTCAPABLE and return this instead of EACCES when a
	capability rights check fails.  This makes capability failure
	modes distinct from access control failures on the underlying
	object, but avoids using EBADF (used for FREAD/FWRITE failure
	in POSIX) that makes it tricky to debug bad file descriptors
	(which occur more frequently when debugging capability system
	programs).
