bug#26391: [PATCH 0/1] Patching getcap and which in torsocks

[Eric Bavier <bavier@member.fsf.org>]

This patches references to the 'getcap' and 'which' programs in 'torsocks'
so that users that don't have either of those packages installed in their
profiles do not see confusing output about them missing.  Usually torsocks
will still function in that case, but it's probably better to have them
available.

I've so far done this sort of thing for several packages with shell scripts,
and each time I'm convinced that this method is better than declaring the
inputs in propagated-inputs.  But I think I'd feel more sure of myself if we
had a short "Packaging shell scripts" section in the manual that outlined
best-practices-of-the-moment.  Would that be useful?
