More capable `privileged-programs` replace `setuid-programs`

Where the kernel supports it, Guix System can now assign POSIX capabilities to trusted executables. Capabilities offer a more granular alternative to the traditional setuid and setgid permissions, which remain available.

To reflect this, (gnu system setuid) has been renamed to (gnu system privilege). privileged-programs replaces setuid-programs as operating-system field and defaults to %default-privileged-programs. The executables themselves have moved from /run/setuid-programs to /run/privileged/bin.
