bpf: lirc program type should not require SYS_CAP_ADMIN

Browse Source 
Make it possible to load lirc program type with just CAP_BPF. There is
nothing exceptional about lirc programs that means they require
SYS_CAP_ADMIN.

In order to attach or detach a lirc program type you need permission to
open /dev/lirc0; if you have permission to do that, you can alter all
sorts of lirc receiving options. Changing the IR protocol decoder is no
different.

Right now on a typical distribution /dev/lirc devices are only
read/write by root. Ideally we would make them group read/write like
other devices so that local users can use them without becoming root.
