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
CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION - get TLS session info
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION,
struct curl_tlssessioninfo **session);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
**This option has been superseded** by CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3) which
was added in 7.48.0. The only reason you would use this option instead is if
you could be using a version of libcurl earlier than 7.48.0.
This option is exactly the same as CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3) except in the
case of OpenSSL. If the session *backend* is CURLSSLBACKEND_OPENSSL the
session *internals* pointer varies depending on the option:
CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION(3) OpenSSL session *internals* is **SSL_CTX ***.
CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3) OpenSSL session *internals* is **SSL ***.
You can obtain an **SSL_CTX** pointer from an SSL pointer using OpenSSL
function *SSL_get_SSL_CTX(3)*. Therefore unless you need compatibility
with older versions of libcurl use CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3). Refer to
that document for more information.
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
struct curl_tlssessioninfo *tls;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(res)
printf("error: %s\n", curl_easy_strerror(res));
curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION, &tls);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
~~~
# AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.34.0. Deprecated since 7.48.0 and supported by OpenSSL and GnuTLS
only up until this version was released.
# RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
