sysctl: move sysctl type to ctl_table_header
Move the SYSCTL_TABLE_TYPE_{DEFAULT,PERMANENTLY_EMPTY} enums from
ctl_table to ctl_table_header.
Removing the mutable member is necessary to constify static instances
of struct ctl_table.
Move the initialization of the sysctl_mount_point type into
init_header() where all the other header fields are also initialized.
As a side-effect the memory usage of the sysctl core is reduced.
Each ctl_table_header instance can manage multiple ctl_table instances
and is only allocated when the table is actually registered.
This saves 8 bytes of memory per ctl_table on 64bit, 4 due to the enum
field itself and 4 due to padding.
