man: specify that ProtectProc= does not work with root/cap_sys_ptrace
When using hidepid=invisible on procfs, the kernel will check if the gid of the process trying to access /proc is the same as the gid of the process that mounted the /proc instance, or if it has the ptrace capability: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v5.10/fs/proc/base.c#L723 https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v5.10/fs/proc/root.c#L155 Given we set up the /proc instance as root for system services, The same restriction applies to CAP_SYS_PTRACE, if a process runs with it then hidepid=invisible has no effect. ProtectProc effectively can only be used with User= or DynamicUser=yes, without CAP_SYS_PTRACE. Update the documentation to explicitly state these limitations. Fixes #18997

Filesystem</ulink>. It is generally recommended to run most system services with this option set to

<literal>invisible</literal>. This option is implemented via file system namespacing, and thus cannot

be used with services that shall be able to install mount points in the host file system

hierarchy. It also cannot be used for services that need to access metainformation about other users'

hierarchy. Note that the root user is unaffected by this option, so to be effective it has to be used

together with <varname>User=</varname> or <varname>DynamicUser=yes</varname>, and also without the
|
||||
<literal>CAP_SYS_PTRACE</literal> capability, which also allows a process to bypass this feature. It

cannot be used for services that need to access metainformation about other users' processes. This

option implies <varname>MountAPIVFS=</varname>.</para>

<para>If the kernel doesn't support per-mount point <option>hidepid=</option> mount options this

setting remains without effect, and the unit's processes will be able to access and see other process
