	2.2, 3.0 branches, all platforms

>Description:

	Securelevel 3 is not documented in init's man page.

>How-To-Repeat:

	man init
	See also docs/7785

>Fix:

	Since /etc/rc sets up up firewall (from rc.network) before
	it changes securelevel, all we need to change is init's
	man page and /etc/rc.conf:
