(cherry picked from commit 5d56f71)

8be0144: Rework port binding logic without privileges
caused issues for host networking configurations. The Kubernetes
documentation states that the `net.*` sysctls can be used with
container networking, which was misinterpreted.

This commit reverts the change, bringing back NET_BIND_SERVICE to
the Nginx process, as well as reverts the libcap package removal
done in a later commit.

In order to avoid privilege escalation being re-introduced, the
IC process is also receiving NET_BIND_SERVICE, so that it can be
inherited over to Nginx.

This change aims to restore host networking as functional for the
Helm chart. A future change is recommended to harden security for
the IC process (to drop the capability after executing Nginx) as
well as Nginx itself (to drop the capability after binding).

OBS! To use a 3.1.0 image, you should manually install the `setcap`
binary and add `+ep` on `/nginx-ingress` and `+eip` on `nginx` binary.
