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

CURLOPT_HAPROXY_CLIENT_IP - set HAProxy PROXY protocol client IP

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HAPROXY_CLIENT_IP,
                          char *client_ip);

DESCRIPTION

When this parameter is set to a valid IPv4 or IPv6 numerical address, the library sends this address as client address in the HAProxy PROXY protocol v1 header at beginning of the connection.

This option is an alternative to CURLOPT_HAPROXYPROTOCOL(3) as that one cannot use a specified address.

Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override the previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.

DEFAULT

NULL, no HAProxy header is sent

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode ret;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HAPROXY_CLIENT_IP, "1.1.1.1");
    ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
  }
}

RETURN VALUE

curl_easy_setopt(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).
