Removing link to firewall.gz; nowhere to be found :/

gzipped firewall script

Since the description on the doc for firewall.gz says it's simply a backslash
free copy of the script I went ahead and did just that in case you'd prefer
just sticking that up instead of removing the link completely.

Thanks, but since it is this "easy" (everyone interested in securing his installation can copy/paste) I'd rather not have such a download available. It also makes it easier for maintenance, since without a downloadable version, I can just edit the guide, while with the downloadable version I have to ask someone of the infrastructure team to update the downloadable version too.
