[PATCH] sysctl: implement CTL_UNNUMBERED

Browse Source 
This patch takes the CTL_UNNUMBERD concept from NFS and makes it available to
all new sysctl users.

At the same time the sysctl binary interface maintenance documentation is
updated to mention and to describe what is needed to successfully maintain the
sysctl binary interface.
