930f075192 When talking about avoiding information disclosure, we generally
say we will be able to delay the actual break-in, since crackers
can still manage to get into the system if there is a hole.  So,
prefer saying "we can delay the actual attack" rather than "the
system is more secure".

8a02bc7059 Add warning to describe relation between rc.conf firewall_logging variable and
sysctl net.ip.fw.verbose variable; suggest to set net.inet.ip.fw.verbose_limit
variable via sysctl.conf (it is impossible to set it via rc.conf variables).

entire range of FreeBSD versions that may be in use out there.  The
tabular layout doesn't look exactly perfect, but this is a stylesheet
issue, which we can fix separately.

8fd665c892 Miscellaneous improvements of the first two sections:
- Don't state that firewalls and stateful filtering will always
  improve security, since that might not be the case.
- Change the Firewall Rulesets section to a more general Firewall
  Concepts section.
- Remove some basic network text which the user should already know when
  reading about more advanced topics, like firewalls.
- Miscellaneous rewording.
