docs/libcurl: generate PROTOCOLS from meta-data
Remove the PROTOCOLS section from the source files completely and
instead generate them based on the header data in the curldown files.

It also generates TLS backend information for options marked for TLS as
protocol.

# NAME
CURLOPT_HSTSWRITEFUNCTION - write callback for HSTS hosts
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
struct curl_hstsentry {
char *name;
size_t namelen;
unsigned int includeSubDomains:1;
char expire[18]; /* YYYYMMDD HH:MM:SS [null-terminated] */
};
struct curl_index {
size_t index; /* the provided entry's "index" or count */
size_t total; /* total number of entries to save */
};
CURLSTScode hstswrite(CURL *easy, struct curl_hstsentry *sts,
struct curl_index *count, void *clientp);
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HSTSWRITEFUNCTION, hstswrite);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to your callback function, as the prototype shows above.
This callback function gets called by libcurl repeatedly to allow the
application to store the in-memory HSTS cache when libcurl is about to discard
it.
Set the *clientp* argument with the CURLOPT_HSTSWRITEDATA(3) option
or it is NULL.
When the callback is invoked, the *sts* pointer points to a populated
struct: Read the hostname to 'name' (it is *namelen* bytes long and null
terminated. The *includeSubDomains* field is non-zero if the entry matches
subdomains. The *expire* string is a date stamp null-terminated string
using the syntax YYYYMMDD HH:MM:SS.
The callback should return *CURLSTS_OK* if it succeeded and is prepared to
be called again (for another host) or *CURLSTS_DONE* if there is nothing
more to do. It can also return *CURLSTS_FAIL* to signal error.
This option does not enable HSTS, you need to use CURLOPT_HSTS_CTRL(3) to
do that.
# DEFAULT
NULL - no callback.
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
struct priv {
void *custom;
};
static CURLSTScode hswr_cb(CURL *easy, struct curl_hstsentry *sts,
struct curl_index *count, void *clientp)
{
/* save the passed in HSTS data somewhere */
return CURLSTS_OK;
}
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
struct priv my_stuff;
CURLcode res;
/* set HSTS read callback */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HSTSWRITEFUNCTION, hswr_cb);
/* pass in suitable argument to the callback */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HSTSWRITEDATA, &my_stuff);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
}

# AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.74.0
# RETURN VALUE
This returns CURLE_OK.
