Provide a mechanism via the QEMU driver reload functionality
to invalidate all the capabilities cache and force a reread
of the capabilities rather than requiring an admin to "know"
they need to remove all the capability cache files and restart
libvirtd. This still requires usage of the reload functionality,
but it provides the "internal mechanism" in order to cause a
reread rather than the "external need" to remove and restart.
