Subject: [PATCH 45/55] mount.8: clarify (no)suid behavior on file capabilities

Clarify that the nosuid option also affects file capabilities and that

it only limits execution of programs. (setgid on directories still

inherit the group regardless of the nosuid option.) The new text is

taken from the mount(2) manual page from the man-pages project.
