    tcp: reduce memory footprint when listing tcp hostcache
    
    In tcp_hostcache_list, the sbuf used would need a large (~2MB)
    blocking allocation of memory (M_WAITOK), when listing a
    full hostcache. This may stall the requestor for an indeterminate
    time.
    
    A further optimization is to return the expected userspace
    buffersize right away, rather than preparing the output of
    each current entry of the hostcase, provided by: @tuexen.
    
    This makes use of the ready-made functions of sbuf to work
    with sysctl, and repeatedly drain the much smaller buffer.
