Description

Two recommended clean up actions:
1) filter_flush_state_table() in /etc/inc/filter.inc calls 'pfctl -F state' which is a typo for 'pfctl -F states' that just happens to work ... on the man page for [pfctl](https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=pfctl):

-F    nat       Flush the NAT rules.
         -F    queue       Flush the queue rules.
         -F    rules       Flush the filter rules.
         -F    states       Flush the state table (NAT and filter).
         -F    Sources       Flush the source tracking table.
         -F    info       Flush the filter information    (statistics that are
               not bound to    rules).
         -F    Tables       Flush the tables.
         -F    osfp       Flush the passive operating system fingerprints.
         -F    all       Flush all of    the above.

and the docs match the code [pfctl.c](https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/sbin/pfctl/pfctl.c)

2) Remove unused filter_flush_nat_table() function in filter.inc
