* update firewall information for efm

This updates the firewall prereqs text to make it clear that:
1) the port that needs to be open is the one used with the bind.address property
2) the admin.port port doesn't need to be opened.

* change "command line process" to "utility"

We use the word "utility" in other places, which looks a lot better.

This command opens the port 7800. Failover Manager connects by way of the port that corresponds to the port specified by `bind.address` in the cluster properties file. The port specified by `admin.port` does not need to be open. It is only used for local communication when the `efm` utility is run.
