libcurl-opts: mention pipelining less
libcurl has not supported HTTP pipelining since many years. Remove a few
(more) mentions of the feature.

docs/libcurl: generate PROTOCOLS from meta-data
Remove the PROTOCOLS section from the source files completely and
instead generate them based on the header data in the curldown files.

It also generates TLS backend information for options marked for TLS as
protocol.

docs/libcurl: add TLS backend info for all TLS options
All man pages that are listed to be for TLS now must also specify
exactly what TLS backends the option works for, or use All if they all
work.

cd2nroff makes sure this is done and that the listed backends exist.

docs: make each libcurl man specify protocol(s)
The mandatory header now has a mandatory list of protocols for which the
manpage is relevant.

Most man pages already has a "PROTOCOLS" section, but this introduces a
stricter way to specify the relevant protocols.

cd2nroff verifies that at least one protocol is mentioned (which can be
`*`).

This information is not used just yet, but A) the PROTOCOLS section can
now instead get generated and get a unified wording across all manpages
and B) this allows us to more reliably filter/search for protocol
specific manpages/options.

The curldown conversion accidentally replaced daniel@haxx.se with

docs: introduce "curldown" for libcurl man page format
curldown is this new file format for libcurl man pages. It is markdown
inspired with differences:

- Each file has a set of leading headers with meta-data
- Supports a small subset of markdown
- Uses .md file extensions for editors/IDE/GitHub to treat them nicely
- Generates man pages very similar to the previous ones
- Generates man pages that still convert nicely to HTML on the website
- Detects and highlights mentions of curl symbols automatically (when
  their man page section is specified)

tools:

- cd2nroff: converts from curldown to nroff man page
- nroff2cd: convert an (old) nroff man page to curldown
- cdall: convert many nroff pages to curldown versions
- cd2cd: verifies and updates a curldown to latest curldown

This setup generates .3 versions of all the curldown versions at build time.

CI:

Since the documentation is now technically markdown in the eyes of many
things, the CI runs many more tests and checks on this documentation,
including proselint, link checkers and tests that make sure we capitalize the
first letter after a period...

GnuTLS it was instead made to load the "system certs", which is
different and not desirable.

The native CA store loading is now asked for with this option.

0dc40b2a0f CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION.3: warn about internal handles
- Warn that the user's debug callback may be called with the handle
  parameter set to an internal handle.

Without this warning the user may assume that the only handles their
debug callback receives are the easy handles on which they set
CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION.

This is a follow-up to f8cee8cc which changed DoH handles to inherit
the debug callback function set in the user's easy handle. As a result
those handles are now passed to the user's debug callback function.
