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

NAME

CURLOPT_SSLENGINE - SSL engine identifier

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSLENGINE, char *id);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string as parameter. It is used as the identifier for the crypto engine you want to use for your private key.

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

DEFAULT

NULL

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLENGINE, "dynamic");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

RETURN VALUE

CURLE_OK - Engine found.

CURLE_SSL_ENGINE_NOTFOUND - Engine not found, or OpenSSL was not built with engine support.

CURLE_SSL_ENGINE_INITFAILED - Engine found but initialization failed.

CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN - Option not built in, OpenSSL is not the SSL backend.

CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION - Option not recognized.

CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY - Insufficient heap space.
