Subject: [PATCH] firewall: remove two sentences via IRC question raised

The default implies to leave it that way if unsure.  The ominous
warning means nothing without explanation, but the effect is
clear for people wanting to use another setting for direction:

o Egress rules filter on outbound, so half the performance passing
  traffic inwards is already wasted by not dropping it on inbound.

o Egress rules cannot set policy routes since policy routes set
  outbound interface on inbound and thus the decision was already
  made.
