Subject: [PATCH v2 7/8] docs: add a script to check sysctl docs

This script allows sysctl documentation to be checked against the
kernel source code, to identify missing or obsolete entries. Running
it against 5.5 shows for example that sysctl/kernel.rst has two
obsolete entries and is missing 52 entries.
