The purpose of tallow is to ban specific hosts. This ban should be enacted as early as possible in the firwall, which is not achieved by using "iptables -A", which *appends* at the end of the chain. This patch ensures that the tallow rule is *inserted* at the top of the INPUT chain, also matching the behavior implemented for firewall-cmd. Fixes: clearlinux#22 ("iptables rules order")
