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

# NAME
CURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME - get the time until connect
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME, double *timep);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a double to receive the total time in seconds from the start
until the connection to the remote host (or proxy) was completed.
When a redirect is followed, the time from each request is added together.
See also the TIMES overview in the curl_easy_getinfo(3) man page.

# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
double connect;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(CURLE_OK == res) {
res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME, &connect);
if(CURLE_OK == res) {
printf("Time: %.1f", connect);
}
}
/* always cleanup */
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
