Suggest to automatically configure Secure VNET firewall #31

@gronke

Description

@gronke

The Secure VNET feature requires IPFW to be running and configured to filter ethernet bridges. Manual steps for a minimal configuration are:

sysrc firewall_type=open
sysrc firewall_enable=YES
service ipfw start
sysctl net.link.ether.ipfw=1
sysctl net.link.bridge.ipfw=1
# permanently enable sysctls
echo "net.link.ether.ipfw=1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
echo "net.link.bridge.ipfw=1" >> /etc/sysctl.conf

When the firewall is not properly configured, a dialog should ask the user to apply the above configuration.
