Improve ``easyrule`` command documentation
100%
Description
At https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/firewall/easyrule.html#easyrule-in-the-shell the documentation is typically terse. But documentation should not be for those who already know things, but for those who know nothing.
The entire page there does not make one mention of what wildcards are permissible.
With trial and error (because I had the specific need) I ended up figuring out that
easyrule pass wan any any any any
works, but would
easyrule pass any any any any any
also work? Don't know, wasn't in a position to risk my setup playing aroud with it. And frankly, nobody should be having to do trial and error, one should be able to read the documentation, and know what, if any, wildcards are applicable for each parameter to the command.

- Subject changed from easyrule command documentation should document permissible wildcards to Improve ``easyrule`` command documentation
This could use some expansion in general. As it is, it's just a copy of the CLI usage output.
There are some other useful things missing as well, like the unblock and showblock actions.
