docs/libcurl: generate PROTOCOLS from meta-data
Remove the PROTOCOLS section from the source files completely and
instead generate them based on the header data in the curldown files.

It also generates TLS backend information for options marked for TLS as
protocol.

# NAME
curl_easy_option_by_name - find an easy setopt option by name
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
const struct curl_easyoption *curl_easy_option_by_name(const char *name);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Given a **name**, this function returns a pointer to the
*curl_easyoption* struct, holding information about the
curl_easy_setopt(3) option using that name. The name should be specified
without the "CURLOPT_" prefix and the name comparison is made case
insensitive.
If libcurl has no option with the given name, this function returns NULL.
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
const struct curl_easyoption *opt = curl_easy_option_by_name("URL");
if(opt) {
printf("This option wants CURLoption %x\n", (int)opt->id);
}
}
~~~
# AVAILABILITY
This function was added in libcurl 7.73.0
# RETURN VALUE
A pointer to the *curl_easyoption* struct for the option or NULL.
