I don't know if package ship sysctl files, but there is few case where
this should be done. It's more an admin facility to tweak a system and
be compatible with other distro.

Idea behind this commit, is to have the same behaviour in initscripts plugin.

If package want trigger it, he can do it with the initscripts binary,
calling /usr/lib/initscripts/arch-sysctl. But it's initscripts
oriented and not really compatible with systemd and should directly
call "sysctl -p hisfile.conf" instead.
