- Make ipfw's sched rules case insensitive, for user-friendliness.
- Add a note to the ipfw(8) man page about the rules no longer being case sensitive. - Fix some typos in the man page. PR: docs/164772 Reviewed by: bz Approved by: gabor (doc mentor, src committer) MFC after: 2 weeks

is just a FIFO scheduler (which means that all packets
are stored in the same queue as they arrive to the scheduler).
FIFO has O(1) per-packet time complexity, with very low
constants (estimate 60-80ns on a 2GHz desktop machine)
