Sergei Golubchik c461188ca6 MDEV-36681 Remove systemd CapabilityBoundingSet as unnecessary
Hopefully, this ends the long story of CapabilityBoundingSet
in mariadb.service.

Started from MDEV-9095 (27e6fd9a59) which was supposed
to let --memlock work without root, but instead of
adding the necessary capability (CAP_IPC_LOCK) by putting it into
AmbientCapabilities it removed all other capabilities,
by putting CAP_IPC_LOCK into CapabilityBoundingSet
(which is the mask of allowed capabilities).

This broke pam plugin, which needed CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE,
it was fixed in MDEV-19878 (dd93028dae) by appending
CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE to CapabilityBoundingSet.

Obviously, memlock still didn't work, this was fixed
in MDEV-33301 (76a27155b4) by moving CAP_IPC_LOCK
to AmbientCapabilities.

Unfortunately, it moved too much (everything), so
MDEV-36229 (85ecb80fa3) fixed it moving CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE
back to CapabilityBoundingSet.

This caused MDEV-36591 (8925877dc8) triggering a bug in old
systemd versions. And it broke pam plugin on CentOS Stream 10,
where CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE alone was apparently not enough.

Let's finally fix this by removing CapabilityBoundingSet
completely and keeping CAP_IPC_LOCK in AmbientCapabilities,
which should've been the correct fix for MDEV-9095 from the start.
