diff to add pf running check to pf_rsync command in /etc/rc.d/pf

The command "service pf reload" (service pf resync) does not check that "pf" is
actually running.  As reload or re-syncing a rule-set without pf actually
running makes no sense one may infer that anyone doing this expects that pf is
actually running.  In that case a warning that it is not would be useful.

A diff to add this to /etc/rc.d/pf is attached.
