sysctl: update sysctl_check_table
Well it turns out after I dug into the problems a little more I was returning a few false positives so this patch updates my logic to remove them. - Don't complain about 0 ctl_names in sysctl_check_binary_path It is valid for someone to remove the sysctl binary interface and still keep the same sysctl proc interface. - Count ctl_names and procnames as matching if they both don't exist. - Only warn about missing min&max when the generic functions care.
