Firewall rule "comment" field

It would be useful to have a plain text "comment" or "note" field when creating individual firewall rules (similarly to #899). Here are some examples of useful information a user might decide to put there:

• The domain name corresponding (at the time) to a bare IP address or CIDR block. (Useful to save on whois searches later. Also useful if the rule ever stops working, so the user knows what was originally intended.)
• The user's reason for adding that firewall rule. (Useful when wondering, later, why that rule exist.)
• Miscellaneous notes to self.

(Note: I'm restricted from changing the priority of this ticket from "major" to "minor.")

Just making sure this wasn't forgotten about. I would find this feature very useful.
