The main use case of setpriv is to modify the current state of
privileges available to the calling process and spawn a new executable
with the modified, new state. Next to the already supported case of
modifying the no-new-privs flag, util-linux also supports to modify
capability sets.
This commit introduces to add or drop capabilities from the set of
inheritable capabilities. Quoting from capabilities(7):
This is a set of capabilities preserved across an execve(2).
Inheritable capabilities remain inheritable when executing any
program, and inheritable capabilities are added to the permitted set
when executing a program that has the corresponding bits set in the
file inheritable set.
As such, inheritable capabilities enable executing files with certain
privileges if the file itself has these privileges set. Note though that
inheritable capabilities are dropped across execve when running as a
non-root user.

The setpriv executable from util-linux also dumps out information on the
different capability sets known by the kernel. By default, these are the
inheritable capabilities, bounding capabilities and (not yet released)
the ambient capabilities, which have been introduced with Linux 4.3.
This patch introduces the ability to dump the set of inheritable
capabilities.
By default, setpriv(1) identifies capabilities by their human-readable
name, for example 'net_admin'. For unknown capabilities, though, it does
instead use the capability's value, for example 'cap_12', which is
equivalent to 'net_admin'. As there is no kernel interface to retrieve
capability names by their index, we have to declare these ourselves,
which adds to setpriv's size.
To counteract, using the human-readble name has been made configurable.
The following sizes are with the 'FEATURE_SETPRIV_CAPABILITY_NAMES'
enabled:

setpriv_main 467 842 +375

setpriv from util-linux has an option to dump the current state
regarding privilege settings via '--dump'. It prints out information on
the real and effective user and group IDs, supplementary groups, the
no-new-privs flag, the capability sets as well as secure bits.
This patch is the start of supporting this mode. To make introduction of
the '--dump' easier to reason about, its introduction has been split
into multiple patches. This particular one introduces the ability to
print out user and group information of the current process.

The current option parsing logic of setpriv only supports the case where
we want to execute a sub-program and have at most one argument. Refactor
handling of options to solve these shortcomings to make it easy to
support 'setpriv --dump', which does not accept any additional
arguments, as well as the case where additional options are passed to
setpriv. This is done by handling 'argc' ourselves, throwing an error
when no program is specified, as well as introducing an enum for the
different option bitmasks.

By default, the 'getopt32' call will continue parsing the command line
even after hitting a non-option string. But in setpriv, this should be
avoided, as all parameters following the initial non-option argument are
in fact arguments to the binary that is to be executed by setpriv.
Otherwise, calling e.g. 'busybox setpriv ls -l' would result in an error
due to the unknown parameter "-l".
Fix the issue by passing "+" as the first character in the options
string. This will cause 'getopt32' to stop processing after hitting the
first non-option.

Before this change, BB_EXTRA_VERSION of "" resulted in:
"BusyBox v1.28.0.git () multi-call binary"
message, after the fix it is:
"BusyBox v1.28.0.git multi-call binary"
While at it, eliminate BB_BT and BANNER single-use macros.
