docs: make each libcurl man specify protocol(s)
The mandatory header now has a mandatory list of protocols for which the
manpage is relevant.

Most man pages already has a "PROTOCOLS" section, but this introduces a
stricter way to specify the relevant protocols.

cd2nroff verifies that at least one protocol is mentioned (which can be
`*`).

This information is not used just yet, but A) the PROTOCOLS section can
now instead get generated and get a unified wording across all manpages
and B) this allows us to more reliably filter/search for protocol
specific manpages/options.

NAME

curl_url - returns a new URL handle

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLU *curl_url();

DESCRIPTION

This function allocates a URL object and returns a CURLU handle for it, to be used as input to all other URL API functions.

This is a handle to a URL object that holds or can hold URL components for a single URL. When the object is first created, there is of course no components stored. They are then set in the object with the curl_url_set(3) function.

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURLUcode rc;
  CURLU *url = curl_url();
  rc = curl_url_set(url, CURLUPART_URL, "https://example.com", 0);
  if(!rc) {
    char *scheme;
    rc = curl_url_get(url, CURLUPART_SCHEME, &scheme, 0);
    if(!rc) {
      printf("the scheme is %s\n", scheme);
      curl_free(scheme);
    }
    curl_url_cleanup(url);
  }
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in 7.62.0

RETURN VALUE

Returns a **CURLU *** if successful, or NULL if out of memory.
