I verified that this successfully builds. Upstream radare2 actually
uses the new capstone library by default
(https://github.com/radare/radare2/commit/3b35520e8f1f3b9368f75918149b09ec8bc59814),
so there should be no issues.

The library is backward compatible. No API changes were made, so I
think none of them should be affected.

I do not have access to git.debian.org since I am not a DD. How do I proceed?
