Require ntp to be built with caps USE flag

Adib Saad requested to merge gentoo-66/66tools-overlay:adib/ntp-flag into master

When I installed ntpd-66serv, it wouldn't start. I got this error in the logs

2020-12-31 23:50:29.784301074  /usr/sbin/ntpd: The 'user' option has been disabled. -- built without --enable-clockctl or --enable-linuxcaps or --enable-solarisprivs

Building with the caps flag seems to solve it.
