Patch for exp-run

jail(2) has been the old way of adding jails for nearly a decade, and it's past
due for moving into COMPAT.  Also, the sysctls under security.jail that went
along with it are more confusing than useful for the modern jail_set(2) world,
and they should go away as well.

My plan is to put jail(2) under #ifdef COMPAT_FREEBSD11, and the sysctls under
#ifndef BURN_BRIDGES.  But I want to make sure I can find and hopefully fix any
ports still using jail(2).

So the included patch actually removes jail(2) and the sysctls entirely,
regardless of those defines, so an exp-run should catch anything still running
under the old system.
