PATCH 1/2 Merge sys.net.ipv4.ip_forward and sys.net.ipv4.conf.all.forwarding

AFAIS these two entries should do the same thing - change the forwarding state on ipv4_devconf and on all the devices.

I propose to merge the handlers together using ctl paths.

The inet_forward_change() is static after this and I move it higher to make code organized like
<helpers (including this)>
<proc/sysctl handlers>
<tables>
rather than mixing it altogether.
