As reported by an OPNsense user doing a security scan pf/pflog can drop e.g. invalid length packets under the default rule which also uses a -1 value like subrulenr. Transform the displayed value from "4294967295" to "-1" in this case because it is more correct (although both are suboptimal for processing).

I don't mind changing the value to something else as requested as displaying "default" also makes sense, but it may have a bigger impact on parsers. |

OpenBSD prints "def" in tcpdump. This is easier to understand for the user than -1 in output. |

@bluhm Thanks for the pointer. I've updated it accordingly. |
