[tor-commits] [torsocks/master] Ignore stderr for getcap command

    Ignore stderr for getcap command
    
    On a filesystem not supporting capabilities, an error is thrown out on
    stderr which is undesirable and confusing for the user.
    
    This commit throws stderr to /dev/null. The point of this getcap is to
    actually see if any capabilities are enabled or none. In the context of
    an error, there are none.
    
    Fixes #21088
