Option cleanups:
--get is not upload
--form* are post
- added several options into ldap, smtp, imap and pop3
- shortened the category descriptions in the list
category curl fixes:
--create-dirs removed from 'curl'
--ftp-create-dirs removed from 'curl'
--netrc moved to 'auth' from 'curl'
--netrc-file moved to 'auth' from 'curl'
--netrc-optional moved to 'auth' from 'curl'
--no-buffer moved to 'output' from 'curl'
--no-clobber removed from 'curl'
--output removed from 'curl'
--output-dir removed from 'curl'
--remove-on-error removed from 'curl'
Add a "global" category:
- Made all "global" options set this category
Add a "deprecated" category:
- Moved the deprecated options to it (maybe they should not be in any
category long term)
Add a 'timeout' category
- Put a number of appropriate options in it
Add an 'ldap' category
- Put the LDAP related option in there
Remove categories "ECH" and "ipfs"
- They should not be categories. Had only one single option each.
Remove category "misc"
- It should not be a category as it is impossible to know when to browse
it.
--use-ascii moved to ftp and output
--xattr moved to output
--service-name moved to auth
Managen fixes:
- errors if an option is given a category name that is not already setup
for in code
- verifies that options set `scope: global` also is put in category
`global´
Closes#14101
The threee tags `<name>`, `</name>` and `<command>` were frequently used
with a leading space that this removes. The reason this habbit is so
widespread in testcases is probably that they have been copy and pasted.
Hence, fixing them all now might curb this practice from now on.
Closes#12028
Adjust the description position to make an aligned column when doing
help listings, which is more pleasing to the eye.

Closes#7792
tool_listhelp.c is now a separate file with only the command line --help
output, exactly as generated by gen.pl. This makes it easier to generate
updates according to what's in the docs/cmdline-opts docs.
cd $srcroot/docs/cmdline-opts
./gen.pl listhelp *.d > $srcroot/src/tool_listhelp.c
With a configure build, this also works:
make -C src listhelp
Closes#7787
- Increase the minimum number of spaces between the option and the
description from 1 to 2.

This option sets the (octal) mode to use for the remote file when one is
created, using the SFTP, SCP or FILE protocols. When not set, the
default is 0644.
