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_XFER_ID - get the ID of a transfer
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_XFER_ID,
curl_off_t *xfer_id);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a *curl_off_t* to receive the identifier of the
current/last transfer done with the handle. Stores -1 if no transfer
has been started yet for the handle.
The transfer id is unique among all transfers performed using the same
connection cache. This is implicitly the case for all transfers in the
same multi handle.
# %PROTOCOLS%
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
/* Perform the request */
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(!res) {
curl_off_t xfer_id;
res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_XFER_ID, &xfer_id);
if(!res) {
printf("Transfer ID: %" CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T "\n", xfer_id);
}
}
}
}
~~~
# %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).
