corrections to ipfw.8 man page

Found initially by guessing but confirmed with the source code, it is possible
to do, e.g. "ipfw nat 1 show config" to examine the nat configuration. This is
missing from the man page. I've attached a patch that adds "ipfw nat number
show {config | log}" to the IN-KERNEL NAT subsection of SYNOPSIS.

Furthermore, under RULE ACTIONS, the nat entry could list the "global" special
value which is documented in the later NAT section that this references. Where
it is documented, it could be clearer that these are used in rule actions and
not amongst the config options that are documented immediately before.
"specials value" doesn't really make sense because "specials" is a plural noun
and only "special" is an adjective – "special values" is better. A little
further on, "examples about" should be "examples of". The attached patch also
deals with these.
