Subject: cp: preserve "capabilities" when also preserving file ownership

* src/copy.c (copy_reg): Copy xattrs _after_ setting file ownership
so that capabilities are not cleared when setting ownership.
* tests/cp/capability: A new root test.
* tests/Makefile.am (root_tests): Reference the new test.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
