nixos/security/wrappers: clarify required format for capabilities

Browse Source 
Before this change, the description for
security.wrappers.<name>.capabilities made it seem like you could just
string together the names of capabilities like this:

  capabilities = "CAP_SETUID,CAP_SETGID";

In reality, each item in the list must be a full-on capability clause:

  capabilities = "CAP_SETUID=ep,CAP_SETGID+i";
