corrections to ipfw.8 man page

Found initially by guessing but confirmed with the source code, it is possi=
ble
to do, e.g. "ipfw nat 1 show config" to examine the nat configuration. This=
 is
missing from the man page. I've attached a patch that adds "ipfw nat number
show {config | log}" to the IN-KERNEL NAT subsection of SYNOPSIS.

Furthermore, under RULE ACTIONS, the nat entry could list the "global" spec=
ial
value which is documented in the later NAT section that this references. Wh=
ere
it is documented, it could be clearer that these are used in rule actions a=
nd
not amongst the config options that are documented immediately before.
"specials value" doesn't really make sense because "specials" is a plural n=
oun
and only "special" is an adjective =E2=80=93 "special values" is better. A =
little
further on, "examples about" should be "examples of". The attached patch al=
so
deals with these.
