docs: introduce "curldown" for libcurl man page format
curldown is this new file format for libcurl man pages. It is markdown
inspired with differences:

- Each file has a set of leading headers with meta-data
- Supports a small subset of markdown
- Uses .md file extensions for editors/IDE/GitHub to treat them nicely
- Generates man pages very similar to the previous ones
- Generates man pages that still convert nicely to HTML on the website
- Detects and highlights mentions of curl symbols automatically (when
  their man page section is specified)

tools:

- cd2nroff: converts from curldown to nroff man page
- nroff2cd: convert an (old) nroff man page to curldown
- cdall: convert many nroff pages to curldown versions
- cd2cd: verifies and updates a curldown to latest curldown

This setup generates .3 versions of all the curldown versions at build time.

CI:

Since the documentation is now technically markdown in the eyes of many
things, the CI runs many more tests and checks on this documentation,
including proselint, link checkers and tests that make sure we capitalize the
first letter after a period...

# NAME
curl_easy_reset - reset all options of a libcurl session handle
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
void curl_easy_reset(CURL *handle);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Re-initializes all options previously set on a specified CURL handle to the
default values. This puts back the handle to the same state as it was in when
it was just created with curl_easy_init(3).
It does not change the following information kept in the handle: live
connections, the Session ID cache, the DNS cache, the cookies, the shares or
the alt-svc cache.
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
/* ... the handle is used and options are set ... */
curl_easy_reset(curl);
}
}
~~~
# AVAILABILITY
This function was added in libcurl 7.12.1
# RETURN VALUE
Nothing
