sysctl: add unsigned int range support

Browse Source 
To keep parity with regular int interfaces provide the an unsigned int
proc_douintvec_minmax() which allows you to specify a range of allowed
valid numbers.

Adding proc_douintvec_minmax_sysadmin() is easy but we can wait for an
actual user for that.
