[libvirt] [RFC PATCH 1/2] spec: Remove capabilities cache during %post install

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1195882 Force re-reading of the capabilities cache upon new installations. Since re-reading of the capabilities is based on the 'ctime' of either the QEMU binary or if the new libvirtd is greater than what created the cache file, it's possible that depending on the order of installations that a later date created "backported" libvirtd could create the cache file while followup installation of a mainline release that had an earlier creation date wouldn't cause the cache to be updated. This results in the possibility that (a) feature(s) in the mainstream release wouldn't be available unless someone delete the cache by hand.
