[PATCH] gnu/packages/linux iptables: include firewall in description

[Ni* Gillmann]

This is a patch to include "firewall" in the description of iptables, as
it does not turn up with a search for "firewall" which might not be so
intuitive for GNU beginners.
I did not want to change the complete description (yet), I am open to
suggestions if this short addition is not accurate. The important thing
is to include "firewall" so it will turn up without knowing "ip
filtering" "iptables" or similar concepts.
