HTTPS to protect the oinkcode from being exposed (suggested by David
Hill).
Also add a note that registered users without a paid subscription are
only allowed to download the official Snort ruleset once every 15
minutes (suggested by Adam Jeanguenat). This restriction is not obvious
on the snort.org site, so I think this note would be helpful to users.

* Add an rc.d script.
* In snort.conf, provide the URL to the official Snort rules so that
users know where to get them.
* In snort.conf, provide the URL to the Emerging Threats rules along
with a commented include line to allow users to easily load the
Emerging Threats rules if they wish.
* Revise pkg/README with details on where to obtain Snort rules, the
differences between the official Snort rules and Emerging Threats
rules, how to download them, and provide some guidance on setting up
Snort.
