[Bug 2071478] Re: Add sys_admin capability to apparmor profile by default

[Lena Voytek]

** Description changed:

  Based on the upstream discussion here -
- https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm/discussions/866 - swtpm should be
- allowed to run under root by default. This is fixed by adding capability
- sys_admin to the apparmor profile.
+ https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm/discussions/866 - certain features
+ of swtpm require access to kernel modules to work. For example, using
+ --vtpm-proxy requires the tpm_vtpm_proxy module. This should work by
+ default, and is fixed by adding capability sys_admin to the apparmor
+ profile.
