cmdline/docs: add a required 'multi' keyword for each option
The keyword specifies how option works when specified multiple times:

 - single: the last provided value replaces the earlier ones
 - append: it supports being provided multiple times
 - boolean: on/off values
 - mutex: flag-like option that disable anoter flag

The 'gen.pl' script then outputs the proper and unified language for
each option's multi-use behavior in the generated man page.

The multi: header is requires in each .d file and will cause build error
if missing or set to an unknown value.

Closes #9759

Tells curl what type the provided client certificate is using. PEM, DER, ENG
and P12 are recognized types.
The default type depends on the TLS backend and is usually PEM, however for
Secure Transport and Schannel it is P12. If --cert is a pkcs11: URI then ENG is
the default type.
