b159c198c9 sysctl: print dotted keys again
When the globbing update was put into sysctl, you could no longer
simply use the keys because one key could potentially be
multiple paths once the glob expansion occured.  Using the path
instead gave a unique output.

Except certain programs, such as salt, expected the output to use
the dotted path "kernel.hostname" and not "kernel/hostname".

We can no longer use the original key, so now for each path:
  Copy the path
  strip off /proc/
  convert all / to .

The sysctl testsuite was also updated to check for a few different
types of conversion failures.

6389deca5b sysctl: Support systemd glob patterns
systemd-sysctl handles glob patterns along with overrides and
exceptions. Now the procps sysctl does it too.

The return value for sysctl is consistently either 0 or 1.

Added tests to check sysctl functions.
