When running on Fedora, it may be necessary to allow ESP and IKE traffic
through the host firewall. If not, this will result in ICMP host
unreachable messages:

13:52:10.000695 IP 192.168.122.228 > 192.168.122.125: 
ESP(spi=0xa5830a6b,seq=0x2), length 156
13:52:10.000721 IP 192.168.122.228 > 192.168.122.125: 
ESP(spi=0xa5830a6b,seq=0x2), length 156
13:52:10.000864 IP 192.168.122.125 > 192.168.122.228: ICMP host 192.168.122.125 
unreachable - admin prohibited filter, length 184
13:52:10.000874 IP 192.168.122.125 > 192.168.122.228: ICMP host 192.168.122.125 
unreachable - admin prohibited filter, length 184

This commit updates the documentation to reflect this.
