with ipfw2 extensions and give examples of use of the new features.

This is just a preliminary commit, where i simply added the basic
syntax for the extensions, and clean up the page (e.g. by listing
things in alphabetical rather than random order).
I would appreciate feedback and possible corrections/extensions
by interested parties.

Still missing are a more detailed description of stateful rules
(with keepalives), interaction with of stateful rules and natd (don't do
that!), examples of use with the recently introduced rule sets.

There is an issue related to the MFC: RELENG_4 still has ipfw as a
default, and ipfw2 is optional. We have two options here: MFC this
page as ipfw(8) adding a large number of "SORRY NOT IN IPFW" notes,
or create a new ipfw2(8) manpage just for -stable users.  I am all
for the first approach, but of course am listening to your comments.
