Ed Schouten 62399df2c9 Add proper const keywords to sysctl(3) parameters.
The `name' and `newp' arguments can be marked const, because the buffers
they refer to are never changed. While there, perform some other
cleanups:

- Remove K&R from sysctl.c.
- Implement sysctlbyname() using sysctlnametomib() to prevent
  duplication of an undocumented kernel interface.
- Fix some whitespace nits.

It seems the prototypes are now in sync with NetBSD as well.
