[PATCH 1/4] firewall: Drop support for blocking P2P protocols.

[Stefan Schantl <stefan.schantl@ipfire.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1928 bytes --]

The main P2P (peer-to-peer) aera has passed for several year now, so
this kind of feature is realy out-dated.

The feature only supports a handfull of P2P protocols (mostly unencrypted)
for applications, which have been superseeded by various other
applications and protocols.

So, this fairly is not longer required and safely can be dropped.
