linux_sysctl: Fix replacing spaces by tabs and fix parsing of sysctl.conf files (#61452)
* test_linux_sysctl: Reduce indentation level

Reduce indentation level to improve readability.

* test_linux_sysctl: Fix test_persist_no_conf_failure

`test_persist_no_conf_failure` has different behaviour depending on the
operating system it is executed on. Mock all system calls and let it
fail in the first try to write the sysctl configuration file.

* linux_sysctl: Pass parameters as list to cmd.run

* linux_sysctl.show: Fix parsing of sysctl.conf files

The lines in sysctl.conf files can contain leading and trailing spaces.
The equal sign (that separates the key and value) might have zero to
multiple white spaces. Valid example:

```
kernel.core_pattern = |/usr/share/kdump-tools/dump-core %p %s %t %e
 # Stop low-level messages on console = less logging
 kernel.printk  = 3 4 1 3

net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
```

`sysctl.show` currently has two issues:
* all values contain a trailing newline
* Comments with leading spaces and equal sign in them are not skipped

Address both issues and simplify the code and cover them with unit tests.

* linux_sysctl.present: Fix replacing spaces by tabs

`salt/modules/linux_sysctl.py` tries to be smart in `persist()` and
replaces spaces by tabs, which will be correct for keys like
`net.ipv4.tcp_rmem` but not for `kernel.core_pattern`.

So only sanitize the values for comparison, but not for persisting them
in the configuration file.

* linux_sysctl: Drop unreachable code

The check `if "=" not in line` already ensures that the split by `=`
will return two elements.
