sysctl.9: put negative sense sysctl note in own paragraph

The sysctl man page cautions against negative-sense boolean sysctls
(foobar_disable), but it gets lost at the end of a large paragraph.
Move it to a separate paragraph in an attempt to make it more clear.

This man page could use a more holistic review and edit pass. This
change is simple and straightforward and I hope provides a small but
immediate benefit.

Add missing types to the sysctl(9) manual page

Update the diff to include other missing sysctl types found in sysctl.h.

Some of these sysctls are already documented in other pages (e.g counter(9)

This patch now documents all of the following:
- SYSCTL_BOOL/SYSCTL_ADD_BOOL
