rS345404: MFC r345080:
rS345080: Extend descriptions and comments about the need to create /etc/pf.conf.
Summary

This is a followup change to address PR 231977: we need to mention that /etc/pf.conf does not exist by default.

I'm having a bit of trouble coming up with a proper change/wording in /head/libexec/rc/rc.conf. Removing the line

pf_rules="/etc/pf.conf"         # rules definition file for pf

would be wrong, as it still is the default location for the file, even if it does not exist there by default. What would be a good way to say that in the comment? Something like

pf_rules="/etc/pf.conf"         # rules definition file for pf (nonexistent by default)

maybe?

Test Plan
  1. Apply the patch to share/man/man5/pf.conf.5
  2. See how it looks like: man ./share/man/man5/pf.conf.5

How about The file has to be created manually as it is not installed with a standard installation.
