curldown: fixups
- make DEFAULT sections less repetitive

- make historic mentions use HISTORY

- generate the protocols section on `# %PROTOCOLS%` instead of guessing
  where to put it

- generate the availability section on `# %AVAILABILITY%` instead of
  guessing where to put it

- make the protocols section more verbose
