[NSIS] NATFW NSLP; using REA mode for blocking data flows

Hi all,

the REA mode (Reserving External Address) was originally called REA mode 
because it is used by hosts behind a NAT to reserve a publicly reachable 
IP address (and port number).

Now, the REA mode is also used by hosts behind a firewall to signal to a 
firewall for blocking data traffic.

Although from functionality point of view, it might be fine to use the 
same name for these two similar functionalities; but from terminology 
point of view, this is rather confusing to signal for blocking data 
traffic and call it "REA mode".

So, why not use a different name that matches more the functionality, 
something like "BLOCK mode" for example?! This would make it easier for 
the readers to understand.

Cheers,
Ali
