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

# NAME
CURLINFO_PRIMARY_PORT - get the latest destination port number
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_PRIMARY_PORT, long *portp);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the destination port of the most recent
connection done with this **curl** handle.
This is the destination port of the actual TCP or UDP connection libcurl used.
If a proxy was used for the most recent transfer, this is the port number of
the proxy, if no proxy was used it is the port number of the most recently
accessed URL.
# %PROTOCOLS%
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(res == CURLE_OK) {
long port;
res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_PRIMARY_PORT, &port);
if(!res)
printf("Connected to remote port: %ld\n", port);
}
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
~~~
# %AVAILABILITY%
# RETURN VALUE
curl_easy_getinfo(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.
