docs: introduce "curldown" for libcurl man page format
curldown is this new file format for libcurl man pages. It is markdown
inspired with differences:

- Each file has a set of leading headers with meta-data
- Supports a small subset of markdown
- Uses .md file extensions for editors/IDE/GitHub to treat them nicely
- Generates man pages very similar to the previous ones
- Generates man pages that still convert nicely to HTML on the website
- Detects and highlights mentions of curl symbols automatically (when
  their man page section is specified)

tools:

- cd2nroff: converts from curldown to nroff man page
- nroff2cd: convert an (old) nroff man page to curldown
- cdall: convert many nroff pages to curldown versions
- cd2cd: verifies and updates a curldown to latest curldown

This setup generates .3 versions of all the curldown versions at build time.

CI:

Since the documentation is now technically markdown in the eyes of many
things, the CI runs many more tests and checks on this documentation,
including proselint, link checkers and tests that make sure we capitalize the
first letter after a period...

# 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
All
# 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
