We collect the set of capabilities the client sends us in a strvec. While this is usually small, there's no limit to the number of capabilities the client can send us (e.g., they could just send us "agent" pkt-lines over and over, and we'd keep adding them to the list). Since all code has been converted away from using this list, let's get rid of it. This avoids a potential attack where clients waste our memory. Note that we do have to replace it with a flag, because some of the flush-packet logic checks whether we've seen any valid commands or keys.
