Subject: [PATCH] drop ambient capabilities
Within NixOS the only possibility to gain cap_sys_nice is using the
security.wrapper infrastructure. However to pass the capabilities to the
wrapped program, they are raised to the ambient set. To fix this we make
sure to drop the ambient capabilities during sway startup and realtime
setup. Otherwise all programs started by sway also gain cap_sys_nice,
which is not something we want.
