Érico Rolim 5d95818757 lib/caputils: add fall back for last cap using prctl.
This allows the rest of the programs using cap_last_cap to trust the
value returned by it, since it will either be obtained from procfs
(straight from kernel) or with prctl.

Also checked if the file under /proc is actually mounted in a procfs.
