docs/libcurl/opts: clarify the return values
Expand a little.

- mention the type name of the return code
- avoid stating which exact return codes that might be returned, as that
  varies over time, builds and conditions
- avoid stating some always return OK
- refer to the manpage documenting all the return codes

Closes #15900

# NAME
CURLINFO_SSL_ENGINES - get an slist of OpenSSL crypto-engines
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_SSL_ENGINES,
struct curl_slist **engine_list);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass the address of a 'struct curl_slist *' to receive a linked-list of
OpenSSL crypto-engines supported. Note that engines are normally implemented
in separate dynamic libraries. Hence not all the returned engines may be
available at runtime. **NOTE:** you must call curl_slist_free_all(3)
on the list pointer once you are done with it, as libcurl does not free this
data for you.
# %PROTOCOLS%
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
struct curl_slist *engines;
res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_SSL_ENGINES, &engines);
if((res == CURLE_OK) && engines) {
/* we have a list, free it when done using it */
curl_slist_free_all(engines);
}
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
~~~
# %AVAILABILITY%
# RETURN VALUE
curl_easy_getinfo(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.
CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see
libcurl-errors(3).
