Christos Margiolis e5c0d7020f virtual_oss(8): Improve hw.snd.basename_clone handling
If we request a /dev/dsp virtual_oss(8) device, we have to replace the
sound(4) one by first disabling hw.snd.basename_clone. This sysctl tells
sound(4) to not create the /dev/dsp alias for the default device. There
are currently two issues with the way this is handled by virtual_oss(8),
however:

1. It uses system(3) instead of sysctlbyname(3).
2. It does not restore hw.snd.basename_clone to its original value, so
   if prior to virtual_oss(8) running, hw.snd.basename_clone was enabled
   (which is the case by default), and it is closed at some point,
   hw.snd.basename_clone stays disabled, which is annoying, because
   users have to manually restore it, otherwise applications that open
   the default device (i.e., most) will not work.

Fix both issues.
