Hello

I recently found a problem where ipfw2 would allow the user to create
firewall rules that does not make sense like (notice udp and setup) :

ipfw add allow udp from any to any setup

I filed a PR (bin/47120) with a "fix" since I thought this was a trivial
change to check in the ipfw userland program for protocol when
specifying options like setup, icmpoptions and the likes. The fix is not
correct since I did not notice that it is possible to use multiple
protocols with or statements.

Now for the point :-)... Is it interesting to have the extra sanity
check in ipfw(8) ? If it is I will try to make a patch that actually
works, but if it isn't there is not much reason to make a new patch...

Btw. could a committer take a quick look at bin/46785 which is a trivial
change to ipfw -h.
