build: fix sysctl() detection on macOS
sysctl() on *BSD takes a "const int *name", whereas sysctl() on macOS it takes an "int *name". So our configure check and sysctl() detection on macOS currently fails: ```bash /usr/include/sys/sysctl.h:759:9: note: candidate function not viable: no known conversion from 'const int [2]' to 'int *' for 1st argument int sysctl(int *, u_int, void *, size_t *, void *, size_t); ``` This change removes the name argument from the sysctl() detection check, meaning we will detect correctly on macOS and *BSD. For consistency we also switch to using the more generic, non-const version of the name parameter in the rest of our usage.
