This allows this to run as non-root again, without this, oping will have dropped privileges before trying to ping, which then fails to open the necessary raw sockets. Fixes: octo#34 Patch from tfheen@a88c51f?diff=split
Set (enable) to create the raw socket then cleared.

Hello,
This version is able to manage the cap_net_raw capability, to set it effective to create the raw socket then clear it.
This allows to set only permitted cap_net_raw capability without set it effective all the time the program is running ( setcap cap_net_raw=p instead of setcap cap_net_raw=ep).
Best regards,
Olivier
