fixes for settings like owner(), group(), perm() and analogous dir_* if create_dirs=yes
for destination files
 - CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE force changes if parent dir has 000 perm, ie vservers (is inerhitted for dir_* too)
 - CAP_CHOWN - needed if dir_owner() or dir_group() are in use
 - CAP_FOWNER - to force chmod() for dirs with owner != root
