[PATCH] ip6tables multiport does not support x:y

Update the manpage for ip6tables multiport match to reflect
reality -- it does not (yet) support x:y syntax.  I looked at
adding it, but adding revision support to ip6tables seems a
waste at this point, since once xtables support is added to
iptables, this problem will resolve itself.

Closes bug #451.

Agreed, Harald was already working on this some time ago.
