cap flag for packets in packet.def #3017
Description
What should be documented? Is there something wrong in the documentation?
I tried to write a parser for the network protocol packets.def but could not find a documented meaning for this line:
freeciv21/common/networking/packets.def
Line 1077 in 559239e
specifically
cap(XXXX) is not defined, I only know about add-cap and `remove-cap
Do you have suggestions?
For me, with no further knowledge about the inner working, it feels like this is equivalent to add-cap, so this could probably be resolved without adding a new packet flag.

Hi @Hyalunar, thanks for the report!
The help text is wrong, the packet-wise flag is called
cap(). So the help at line 120 should be changed.Would you mind submitting this as a pull request?
