add descriptions for new actions to helpfile

0.5.71 alpha 1 (2006-04-10)
Added a description to the Debian default file.
Added a separate DNAT action, which acts like the PORTFW action, but it creates rules
in the nat table only. In the logs PORTFW rules now say 'PORTFW' instead of 'DNAT'.
Added a new action 'Bounce'. Bounce solves the problem that it isn't it possible to access
NATed services by the public IP address from LAN. Normally this should be solved on dns-level,
but that is not always possible in every environment.
Fixed a problem with rules from a group to the firewall where the firewall has more
than one interface in the groups network.
Fixed two cosmetic issues in vuurmuur_conf.
