    rc.conf(5): Document the 'workstation' firewall_type
    
    Document the workstation ACL ruleset, which uses stateful rules.
    
    While here, add a note about where some of the undocumented variables
    can be found. This is not a perfect solution for bug 127359, but it at
    at least gives a place to go look, and can be used as a reference for
    when bug 127359 gets fixed properly.
