docs: ascii version of manpage without nroff

Create ASCII version of manpage without nroff

- build src/tool_hugegelp.c from the ascii manpage
- move the the manpage and the ascii version build to docs/cmdline-opts
- remove all use of nroff from the build process
- should make the build entirely reproducible (by avoiding nroff)

- partly reverts 2620aa9 to build libcurl option man pages one by one
in cmake because the appveyor builds got all crazy until I did

The ASCII version of the manpage

- is built with gen.pl, just like the manpage is
- has a right-justified column making the appearance similar to the previous
version
- uses a 4-space indent per level (instead of the old version's 7)
- does not do hyphenation of words (which nroff does)

History

We first made the curl build use nroff for building the hugehelp file in
December 1998, for curl 5.2.

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...

cmake: add support for single libcurl compilation pass

Before this patch CMake builds used two separate compilation passes to
build the shared and static libcurl respectively. This patch allows to
reduce that to a single pass if the target platform and build settings
allow it.

This reduces CMake build times when building both static and shared
libcurl at the same time, making these dual builds an almost zero-cost
option.

Enable this feature for Windows builds, where the difference between the
two passes was the use of `__declspec(dllexport)` attribute for exported
API functions for the shared builds. This patch replaces this method
with the use of `libcurl.def` at DLL link time.

Also update `Makefile.mk` to use `libcurl.def` to export libcurl API
symbols on Windows. This simplifies (or fixes) this build method (e.g.
in curl-for-win, which generated a `libcurl.def` from `.h` files using
an elaborate set of transformations).

`libcurl.def` has the maintenance cost of keeping the list of public
libcurl API symbols up-to-date. This list seldom changes, so the cost
is low.

cmake: speed up and extend picky clang/gcc options

Extend existing picky compiler options with ones missing compared to
autotools builds. Also sync options between clang and gcc.

Redesign the way we enable these options to avoid the slow option
detection almost completely.

This reduces the number of detections from 35 to zero for clang and
3 for gcc, even after adding a bunch of new options.

clang 3.0 (2011-11-29) and gcc 2.95 (1999-07-31) now required.

Also show enabled picky options.

something like this is better:
