Patch to add libcap-static package

The libcap-devel description mentions libraries for static linking, but the package does not include them.

To statically compile QEMU (which is required to compile rkt's KVM QEMU stage 1 [1]) the static library is required.

Attached is a patch which adds a libcap-static package (in keeping with the style used for zlib) and removes the reference to static libraries in the devel package description.
