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
CURLOPT_CURLU - URL in URL handle format
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CURLU, CURLU *pointer);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass in a pointer to the *URL* handle to work with. The parameter should be a
*CURLU pointer*. Setting CURLOPT_CURLU(3) explicitly overrides
CURLOPT_URL(3).
CURLOPT_URL(3) or CURLOPT_CURLU(3) **must** be set before a
transfer is started.
libcurl uses this handle and its contents read-only and does not change its
contents. An application can update the contents of the URL handle after a
transfer is done and if the same handle is used in a subsequent request the
updated contents is used.
# DEFAULT
The default value of this parameter is NULL.
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
CURLU *urlp = curl_url();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
CURLUcode ret;
ret = curl_url_set(urlp, CURLUPART_URL, "https://example.com", 0);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CURLU, urlp);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_url_cleanup(urlp);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
~~~
# AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.63.0.
# RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
