Update.

* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/netinet/ip_fw.h: Removed. There are too
many differences between the Linux 2.0 and 2.1 versions of this
file and it's too difficult to convert all calls. The file should
only be needed by the ipfw program which has to take care of the
correct kernel version and include files.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Dist: Remove netinet/ip_fw.h.
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile (sysdep_headers): Likewise.
