a couple of improvements to the iptables man page never made it into
ip6tables version.
The number of differences between these two files is so small that
it seems preferable to alias the ipv6 man pages to their ipv4 counterpart
and change iptables man page to specifically document differences
(e.g. lack of ip6tables -f, etc).

... and remove the QUEUE snippets from ip(6)tables man page,
the queue target was replaced by nfqueue years ago.
Fix up a couple of needless differences in ip(6)tables.8, too.

There have been numerous complaints and bug reports over the years when admins
attempt to run more than one instance of iptables simultaneously. Currently
open bug reports which are related:
325: Parallel execution of the iptables is impossible
758: Retry iptables command on transient failure
764: Doing -Z twice in parallel breaks counters
822: iptables shows negative or other bad packet/byte counts
As Patrick notes in 325: "Since this has been a problem people keep running
into, I'd suggest to simply add some locking to iptables to catch the most
common case."
I started looking into alternatives to add locking, and of course the most
common/obvious solution is to use a pidfile. But this has various downsides,
such as if the application is terminated abnormally and the pidfile isn't
cleaned up. And this also requires a writable filesystem. Using a UNIX domain
socket file (e.g. in /var/run) has similar issues.
Starting in 2.2, Linux added support for abstract sockets. These sockets
require no filesystem, and automatically disappear once the application
terminates. This is the locking solution I chose to implement in ip[6]tables.
As an added bonus, since each network namespace has its own socket pool, an
ip[6]tables instance running in one namespace will not lock out an ip[6]tables
instance running in another namespace. A filesystem approach would have
to recognize and handle multiple network namespaces.

This fixes a bug in iptables.8 and ip6tables.8 where @PACKAGE_VERSION@
was not processed in the VERSION section. It also simplifies the
Makefile by avoiding some sed commands.
[ Mangled this patch to rename iptables-extensions.8.in to
iptables-extensions.8.tmpl.in to avoid having a file whose name
is terminated by .in.in --pablo ]

iptables.8 and ip6tables.8 had pretty much the same content, with a few
protocol-specific deviations here and there. Not only did that bloat the
manpages, but it also made it harder to spot differences. Separate out
the extension descriptions into a new manpage, which conveniently
features differences next to one another (cf. REJECT).

"-vv" can be used to further increase the verbosity level. Document
