Commit 1793370 from arkurth@apache.org in branch 'vcl/trunk'
[ https://svn.apache.org/r1793370 ]

VCL-1031
Updated Linux.pm::firewall to return a generic VCL::Module::OS::Linux::firewall object if none of the specific (iptables, firewalld, ufw) modules could be initialized. This allows you to call '$self->os->firewall->can(...)' without having to check if $self->os->firewall is defined and valid first. Without this, many warnings were generated from Lab.pm.

> The iptables.pm module was created when the NAT functionality was added.  Up to this point, it is only being used to configure the firewall on the NAT host.  The Linux OS modules are still used to configure iptables.  With the addition of firewalld (VCL-972) and ufw (VCL-971), all of the Linux firewall code should be pulled out of the main OS module and into the dedicated file.
