vold: explicitly specify capabilities

Browse source 
If a service doesn't specify any capabilities in it's definition in the
.rc file, then it will inherit all the capabilities from the init.
Although whether a process can use capabilities is actually controlled
by selinux (so inheriting all the init capabilities is not actually a
security vulnerability), it's better for defense-in-depth and just
bookkeeping to explicitly specify the capabilities that vold needs.

The list of capabilities that vold is allowed to use was obtained via:
```
$ adb pull /sys/fs/selinux/policy /tmp/selinux.policy
$ sesearch --allow -s vold -c capability,capability2 /tmp/selinux.policy
allow vold vold:capability { chown dac_override dac_read_search fowner fsetid kill mknod net_admin sys_admin sys_chroot sys_nice sys_ptrace };
allow vold vold:capability2 block_suspend
```

In addition, since vold execs the /system/bin/sdcard, which transitions
into sdcardd domain, we also need to add capabilities that are required
by /system/bin/sdcard:

```
sesearch --allow -s sdcardd -c capability,capability2 /tmp/selinux.policy
allow sdcardd sdcardd:capability { dac_override dac_read_search setgid setuid sys_admin sys_resource };
```

vold can also transform into the following domains which don't seem to
need any capabilities: blkid, blkid_untrusted, fsck, fsck_untrusted

vold can also transform into sgdisk domain, which only needs
CAP_SYS_ADMIN:

```
sesearch --allow -s sgdisk -c capability,capability2 /tmp/selinux.policy
allow sgdisk sgdisk:capability sys_admin
```
