I don't think silently ignoring entries is a good idea, if people want
to override the default settings they should follow the manpage and do
that in /etc/sysctl.d/50-default.conf.

That said, the fact that we are currently parsing /etc/sysctl.conf is
not documented. Should we either stop doing that, or at least update
the manpage? FWIW, I'd be in favor of the former.
