cmake: rework options to enable curl and libcurl docs

Rework CMake options for building/using curl tool and libcurl manuals.

- rename `ENABLE_MANUAL` to `ENABLE_CURL_MANUAL`, meaning:
  to build man page and built-in manual for curl tool.

- rename `BUILD_DOCS` to `BUILD_LIBCURL_DOCS`, meaning:
  to build man pages for libcurl.

- `BUILD_LIBCURL_DOCS` now works without having to enable
  `ENABLE_CURL_MANUAL` too.

- drop support for existing CMake-level `USE_MANUAL` option to avoid
  confusion. (It used to work with the effect of current
  `ENABLE_CURL_MANUAL`, but only by accident.)

Closes #12773
