Idea #10509: Log firewall to separate file

Description

Currently, ufw logs the firewall to kern.log (the log file for kernel messages).
I think it should log them to a separate file such as firewall.log instead.

Yeah, ufw is a front-end for iptables which is a userspace tool that communicates with the the kernelspace netfilter API.

Still think it should have an own log file though.
