Log:
  Update and clarify pflog man page
  
  The pflog0 interface is created when the module is loaded, this can
  be triggered by pf and pflogd being enabled or by kldloading the module.
  
  By default the interface would be pflog0, add the ifconfig stage of the
  example to make this example clearer.
