`systemd-resolved.service` runs as `User=systemd-resolved`, and uses certain
Capabilit{y,ies} magic. By my understanding, this means it is started with a
number of "privileges". Indeed, `capabilities(7)` explains
> Linux divides the privileges traditionally
> associated with superuser into distinct units, known as capabilities,
> which can be independently enabled and disabled."
This situation appears to contradict our current code comment which said
> If we are not running as root we assume all privileges are already dropped.
This appears to be a confusion in the comment only. The rest of the code
tells a much clearer story. (Don't ask me if the story is correct.
`capabilities(7)` scares me). Let's tweak the comment to make it consistent
and avoid worrying readers about this.
