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.

Closes #13166

# NAME
CURLOPT_NETRC_FILE - filename to read .netrc info from
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_NETRC_FILE, char *file);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a char pointer as parameter, pointing to a null-terminated string
containing the full path name to the *file* you want libcurl to use as .netrc
file. If this option is omitted, and CURLOPT_NETRC(3) is set, libcurl checks
for a .netrc file in the current user's home directory.
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
option.
# DEFAULT
NULL
# PROTOCOLS
All
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode ret;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NETRC, CURL_NETRC_OPTIONAL);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NETRC_FILE, "/tmp/magic-netrc");
ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
}
~~~
# AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.10.9
# RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or
CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
