patch to manpage

As it stands, the option "reset" also implies it will work with IPv6 -
especially if someone doesn't notice the "reset6" option.

Change:

    reset   Discard packets that match this rule, and if the packet is an
             TCP packet, try to send a TCP reset (RST) notice.  The
             search terminates.

     reset6  Discard packets that match this rule, and if the packet is an
             TCP packet, try to send a TCP reset (RST) notice.  The
             search terminates.

to:

    reset   Discard packets that match this rule, and if the packet is an
             IPv4 TCP packet, try to send a TCP reset (RST) notice.  The
             search terminates.

     reset6  Discard packets that match this rule, and if the packet is an
             IPv6 TCP packet, try to send a TCP reset (RST) notice.  The
             search terminates.
