kern/46602: rfc6056 sysctl names are odd

>Description:
-current has the following sysctl mibs.
net.inet.udp.rfc6056.available
net.inet.udp.rfc6056.selected
net.inet6.udp6.rfc6056.available
net.inet6.udp6.rfc6056.selected
they seems odd because
1. they are not udp-specific and inconsist with
a precedent (net.inet.ip.anonportmin)
2. using the rfc number as a sysctl name is not appropriate.
eg. what happens if we add another algorithm?
something like "portselect" is a better name.
UDP_RFC6056ALGO socket option has the same problems.
>How-To-Repeat:
man rfc6056
>Fix:
rename them before a release.
