handbook: Improve Firewalls chapter
- Fix some dead links and punctuations
- pfctl_parser.c was moved to a new location since FreeBSD 10
- Fix a few service commands
1) The line
sysrc -f /etc/sysctl.conf vm.max_wired=-1
does not work, it only returns an error about a name containing characters
not allowed in shell. Instead, use echo to add the line to sysctl.conf.
2) Fix the rules for automatic bridge creation, taken from the bridging
chapter of the handbook.
3) Add a note that FreeBSD's Dom0 requires booting in legacy (BIOS) mode.
4) Remove mention of xen.4th for the loader menu. It's not working anymore
with the Lua loader that we have now. Until this is fixed, don't refer
readers to it.
Thanks to royger@ for providing the patch.

variables are introduced.
This patch swaps the order of those two sections and pushes "Marking
a Port as Architecture Neutral" down one level.
By itself this patch seems trivial; however, it needs to be done to
prepare for expanding the section with non-trivial material.

It got moved to their blog and the previous link did lead to
an error page. This new link will lead people directly there.

In the discussion leading up to r52813, rgrimes@ suggested to add a
troubleshooting section to the Xen chapter to help with debugging issues.
In particular, users should know where Xen 4.11 and higher logs important
information relevant for debugging. There are also a couple of options
that increase the verbosity of the dom0 and enable iommu debugging. These
were divided up into two subsections: one for the host and the other for
the guest.
Thanks go out to royger@ for providing the information and putting together
a documentation patch before I could.

This patch clarifies which versions of FreeBSD support Xen 4.7 (PVHv1)
and Xen 4.11 or greater (PVHv2). Additionally, improve a few of the
instructions. Use onifconsole for Xen, add a line to loader.conf to
load the tap device. Remove restrictions to use MMCFG PCI accesses for
Xen >= 4.11. Make /var/log/xen stand out a bit more by making it a tip.
Finally, the example guest was creating a 10.3 version of FreeBSD,
which is no longer supported. Update that to 12.0 and wrap it in
replaceable tags so that people know they can put something else there.
Big thanks to royger@ for the updates and doing the documentation work
before I had a chance to do it.
