- avoid writing "set ..." or "enable/disable ..." or "specify ..."
*All* options for curl_easy_setopt() are about setting or enabling
things and most of the existing options didn't use that way of
description.

Closes#7688
In every libcurl option man page there are now 8 mandatory sections that
must use the right name in the correct order and test 1173 verifies
this. Only 14 man pages needed adjustments.
The sections and the order is as follows:
- NAME
- SYNOPSIS
- DESCRIPTION
- PROTOCOLS
- EXAMPLE
- AVAILABILITY
- RETURN VALUE
- SEE ALSO

Closes#7656
Extended manpage-syntax.pl (run by test 1173) to check that every man
page for a libcurl option has an EXAMPLE section that is more than two
lines. Then fixed all errors it found and added examples.

Since this option is also used for FTP, it needs to work to set for
applications even if hyper doesn't support it for HTTP. Verified by test
1137.
Updated docs to specify that the option doesn't work for HTTP when using
the hyper backend.

- Add protocols field to max-filesize.d.
- Revert wording on unknown file size caveat and do not discuss specific
protocols in that section.
Partial revert of ecf0225. All max-filesize options now have the list of
protocols and it's clearer just to have that list without discussing
specific protocols in the caveat.

Unicode Windows builds use UTF-8 strings internally in libcurl,
so make sure to call the UTF-8 flavour of the libidn2 API. Also
document that Windows builds with libidn2 and UNICODE do expect
CURLOPT_URL as an UTF-8 string.

They were never officially allowed and slipped in only due to sloppy
parsing. Spaces (ascii 32) should be correctly encoded (to %20) before
being part of a URL.
The new flag bit CURLU_ALLOW_SPACE when a full URL is set, makes libcurl
allow spaces.
Updated test 1560 to verify.

In some situations, it was possible that a transfer was setup to
use an specific IP version, but due do DNS caching or connection
reuse, it ended up using a different IP version from requested.
This commit changes the effect of CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE from simply
restricting address resolution to preventing the wrong connection
type being used, when choosing a connection from the pool, and
to restricting what addresses could be used when establishing
a new connection.
It is important that all addresses versions are resolved, even if
not used in that transfer in particular, because the result is
cached, and could be useful for a different transfer with a
different CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE setting.

Previously this logic would cap the send to CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE bytes,
but for the situations where a larger upload buffer has been set, this
function can benefit from sending more bytes. With default size used,
this does the same as before.
Also changed the storage of the size to an 'unsigned int' as it is not
allowed to be set larger than 2M.
Also added cautions to the man pages about changing buffer sizes in
run-time.

- Disable auto credentials by default. This is a breaking change
for clients that are using it, wittingly or not.
- New libcurl ssl option value CURLSSLOPT_AUTO_CLIENT_CERT tells libcurl
to automatically locate and use a client certificate for
authentication, when requested by the server.
- New curl tool options --ssl-auto-client-cert and
--proxy-ssl-auto-client-cert map to CURLSSLOPT_AUTO_CLIENT_CERT.
This option is only supported for Schannel (the native Windows SSL
library). Prior to this change Schannel would, with no notification to
the client, attempt to locate a client certificate and send it to the
server, when requested by the server. Since the server can request any
certificate that supports client authentication in the OS certificate
store it could be a privacy violation and unexpected.
