A revamp of Handbook's 'firewalls' chapter.

Description

A revamp of Handbook's 'firewalls' chapter.
This is a rather lengthy patch, that attempts to fix several problems:

  • Reduce repetition. There are several paragraphs in the original text that are repeated throughout the sections
  • Markup fixes. Replace single quotes with <literal> tags, add <acronym>s and several other changes to improve markup consistency
  • Convert to passive voice where possible, eliminate few first person references
  • Several grammar and language fixes
  • The original text implied that the same TCP packet would go back and forth between source and destination. Rephrase relevant paragraphs to clarify these are different packets
  • Includes many fixes submitted in a PR [1] and a link fix submitted on -doc [2]
  • Numerous other smaller changes, too many to mention here
