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
