sysctl: fix proc_dobool() usability

Currently proc_dobool expects a (bool *) in table->data, but sizeof(int)
in table->maxsize, because it uses do_proc_dointvec() directly.

This is unsafe for at least two reasons:
1. A sysctl table definition may use { .data = &variable, .maxsize =
   sizeof(variable) }, not realizing that this makes the sysctl unusable
   (see the Fixes: tag) and that they need to use the completely
   counterintuitive sizeof(int) instead.
2. proc_dobool() will currently try to parse an array of values if given
   .maxsize >= 2*sizeof(int), but will try to write values of type bool
   by offsets of sizeof(int), so it will not work correctly with neither
   an (int *) nor a (bool *). There is no .maxsize validation to prevent
   this.

Fix this by:
1. Constraining proc_dobool() to allow only one value and .maxsize ==
   sizeof(bool).
2. Wrapping the original struct ctl_table in a temporary one with .data
   pointing to a local int variable and .maxsize set to sizeof(int) and
   passing this one to proc_dointvec(), converting the value to/from
   bool as needed (using proc_dou8vec_minmax() as an example).
3. Extending sysctl_check_table() to enforce proc_dobool() expectations.
4. Fixing the proc_dobool() docstring (it was just copy-pasted from
   proc_douintvec, apparently...).
5. Converting all existing proc_dobool() users to set .maxsize to
   sizeof(bool) instead of sizeof(int).
