curldown: make 'added-in:' a mandatory header field
- generate AVAILABILITY manpage sections automatically - for consistent
  wording

- allows us to double-check against other documumentation (symbols-in-versions
  etc)

- enables proper automation/scripting based on this data

- lots of them were wrong or missing in the manpages

- several of them repeated (sometimes mismatching) backend support info

Add test 1488 to verify "added-in" version numbers against
symbols-in-versions.

Closes #14217

EXAMPLE

struct progress {
  char *private;
  size_t size;
};

static size_t progress_callback(void *clientp,
                                double dltotal,
                                double dlnow,
                                double ultotal,
                                double ulnow)
{
  struct progress *memory = clientp;
  printf("private: %p\n", memory->private);

  /* use the values */

  return 0; /* all is good */
}

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    struct progress data;

    /* pass struct to callback  */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROGRESSDATA, &data);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION, progress_callback);

    curl_easy_perform(curl);
  }
