docs/libcurl/opts: clarify the return values

Expand a little.

- mention the type name of the return code
- avoid stating which exact return codes that might be returned, as that
  varies over time, builds and conditions
- avoid stating some always return OK
- refer to the manpage documenting all the return codes

Closes #15900
