curldown: fixups
- make DEFAULT sections less repetitive

- make historic mentions use HISTORY

- generate the protocols section on `# %PROTOCOLS%` instead of guessing
  where to put it

- generate the availability section on `# %AVAILABILITY%` instead of
  guessing where to put it

- make the protocols section more verbose

# 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.
# %PROTOCOLS%
# 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%
# RETURN VALUE
A pointer to the *curl_easyoption* struct for the option or NULL.
