Subject: [PATCH] base-files: add the possibility to set sysctl via uci

With this change, sysctl parameters can be set via the uci. The
following unamed section musst be set in '/etc/config/sysctl'.

config sysctl
	option enable '1'
	option section 'net.ipv4.fib_multipath_hash_policy'
	option value '2'

If the unamed section gets disabled, then the default value gets set,
that was saved during boot.
