audit: unswing cap_* fields in PATH records



The cap_* fields swing in and out of PATH records.
If no capabilities are set, the cap_* fields are completely missing and when
one of the cap_fi or cap_fp values is empty, that field is omitted.

Original:
type=PATH msg=audit(04/20/2017 12:17:11.222:193) : item=1 name=/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 inode=787694 dev=08:03 mode=file,755 ouid=root ogid=root rdev=00:00 obj=system_u:object_r:ld_so_t:s0 nametype=NORMAL
type=PATH msg=audit(04/20/2017 12:17:11.222:193) : item=0 name=/home/sleep inode=1319469 dev=08:03 mode=file,suid,755 ouid=root ogid=root rdev=00:00 obj=system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 nametype=NORMAL cap_fp=sys_admin cap_fe=1 cap_fver=2

Normalize the PATH record by always printing all 4 cap_* fields.

Fixed:
type=PATH msg=audit(04/20/2017 13:01:31.679:201) : item=1 name=/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 inode=787694 dev=08:03 mode=file,755 ouid=root ogid=root rdev=00:00 obj=system_u:object_r:ld_so_t:s0 nametype=NORMAL cap_fp=none cap_fi=none cap_fe=0 cap_fver=0
type=PATH msg=audit(04/20/2017 13:01:31.679:201) : item=0 name=/home/sleep inode=1319469 dev=08:03 mode=file,suid,755 ouid=root ogid=root rdev=00:00 obj=system_u:object_r:bin_t:s0 nametype=NORMAL cap_fp=sys_admin cap_fi=none cap_fe=1 cap_fver=2
