curl: --help [option] displays documentation for given cmdline option
Since the documentation text blob might be gzipped, it needs to search
for what to output in a streaming manner. It then first searches for
"\nALL OPTIONS".

Then, it looks for the start to display at "\n    -[option]" and stops
again at "\n    -". Except for the last option in the man page, which
ends at "\nFILES" - the subtitle for the section following all options
in the manpage.

Test 1707 to 1710 verify

cmdline-opts: category cleanup
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´

code: language cleanup in comments
Based on the standards and guidelines we use for our documentation.

 - expand contractions (they're => they are etc)
 - host name = > hostname
 - file name => filename
 - user name = username
 - man page => manpage
 - run-time => runtime
 - set-up => setup
 - back-end => backend
 - a HTTP => an HTTP
 - Two spaces after a period => one space after period

tests: remove leading spaces from some tags
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.
