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
CURLOPT_TELNETOPTIONS - set of telnet options
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TELNETOPTIONS,
struct curl_slist *cmds);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Provide a pointer to a curl_slist with variables to pass to the telnet
negotiations. The variables should be in the format \<option=value\>. libcurl
supports the options **TTYPE**, **XDISPLOC** and **NEW_ENV**. See the TELNET
standard for details.
Using this option multiple times makes the last set list override the previous
ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.
libcurl does not copy the list, it needs to be kept around until after the
transfer has completed.
# DEFAULT
NULL
# %PROTOCOLS%
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
struct curl_slist *options;
options = curl_slist_append(NULL, "TTTYPE=vt100");
options = curl_slist_append(options, "USER=foobar");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "telnet://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TELNETOPTIONS, options);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
curl_slist_free_all(options);
}
}
~~~
# %AVAILABILITY%
# RETURN VALUE
curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.
CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see
libcurl-errors(3).
