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_KEYPASSWD - passphrase to private key
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD, char *pwd);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string as parameter. It is used as the
password required to use the CURLOPT_SSLKEY(3) or
CURLOPT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEYFILE(3) private key. You never need a pass phrase to
load a certificate but you need one to load your private key.
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
option.
# DEFAULT
NULL
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLCERT, "client.pem");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSLKEY, "key.pem");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD, "superman");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
~~~
# AVAILABILITY
This option was known as CURLOPT_SSLKEYPASSWD up to 7.16.4 and
CURLOPT_SSLCERTPASSWD up to 7.9.2.
# RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if TLS enabled, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or
CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
