drop_monitor: Require CAP_NET_ADMIN for drop monitor configuration
Currently, the configure command does not do anything but return an error. Subsequent patches will enable the command to change various configuration options such as alert mode and packet truncation. Similar to other netlink-based configuration channels, make sure only users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability set can execute this command.
