nothing good except of opening a can of (potential or real) security
holes. People maintaining a machine with higher security requirements
need to be on the console anyway, so there's no point in not forcing
them to reboot before starting maintenance.

(phk's) sysctl framework, and I needed special code to disambiguate
the VFS_GENERIC node from the VFS_VFSCONF leaf, so I only converted
the leaves to the FreeBSD framework. The error handling isn't quite
right. CSRGS's sysctls seem to return ENOTDIR too much and FreeBSD's
sysctls don't agree with the man page.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
- kern.maxproc and kern.maxprocperuid were read-only (and thus essentially
useless. Apparently no one uses them).
- all the user sysctls were read-write (and thus it was possible for them
to be inconsistent with the authoritative fixed values in the library).
Removed unused #include.
