Vincent Bernat f2b8f2eade sysctl: don't modify /etc/sysctl.conf
To configure firewall rules, CloudStack modifies `/etc/sysctl.conf` and
execute those modifications. This may be harmful for several reasons:

 1. `/etc/sysctl.conf` may be managed by some configuration management
    system. Such a system will constantly restore the previous version.

 2. `/etc/sysctl.conf` may contain additional properties that have been
    changed later by some system administrator (for example, once a
    firewall has been configured, forwarding may have been activated
    while it is disabled in `/etc/sysctl.conf`). Executing the file
    again at a later time may disrupt the system.

 3. Entries are added again and again. `/etc/sysctl.conf` will contain
    the same directives repeated several times.

Using a configuration file is not needed as `sysctl` is able to directly
modify sysctl values with `-w` flag.
