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

# NAME
CURLINFO_LOCAL_IP - get local IP address of last connection
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_LOCAL_IP, char **ip);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the pointer to a null-terminated
string holding the IP address of the local end of most recent connection done
with this **curl** handle. This string may be IPv6 when that is
enabled. Note that you get a pointer to a memory area that is reused at next
request so you need to copy the string if you want to keep the information.
The **ip** pointer is NULL or points to private memory. You MUST NOT free -
it gets freed when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the corresponding
CURL handle.
# %PROTOCOLS%
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
char *ip;
CURLcode res;
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
/* Perform the transfer */
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
/* Check for errors */
if((res == CURLE_OK) &&
!curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_LOCAL_IP, &ip) && ip) {
printf("Local IP: %s\n", ip);
}
/* always cleanup */
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
~~~
# %AVAILABILITY%
# RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
