- Make ipfw's sched rules case insensitive, for user-friendliness.

- Add a note to the ipfw(8) man page about the rules no longer being
case sensitive.
- Fix some typos in the man page.

.It Cm fifo
is just a FIFO scheduler (which means that all packets
are stored in the same queue as they arrive to the scheduler).
FIFO has O(1) per-packet time complexity, with very low
constants (estimate 60-80ns on a 2GHz desktop machine)
but gives no service guarantees.
.It Cm wf2qp

implements the WF2Q+ algorithm, which is a Weighted Fair Queueing
algorithm which permits flows to share bandwidth according to
their weights. Note that weights are not priorities; even a flow
