- made the parser treat 4-space indents as quotes

- switch to building the curl.1 manpage using the "mainpage.idx" file,
which lists the files to include to generate it, instead of using the
previous page-footer/headers. Also, those files are now also .md
ones, using the same format. I gave them underscore prefixes to make
them sort separately:
_NAME.md, _SYNOPSIS.md, _DESCRIPTION.md, _URL.md, _GLOBBING.md,
_VARIABLES.md, _OUTPUT.md, _PROTOCOLS.md, _PROGRESS.md, _VERSION.md,
_OPTIONS.md, _FILES.md, _ENVIRONMENT.md, _PROXYPREFIX.md,

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...

connections: introduce http/3 happy eyeballs

New cfilter HTTP-CONNECT for h3/h2/http1.1 eyeballing.
- filter is installed when `--http3` in the tool is used (or
the equivalent CURLOPT_ done in the library)
- starts a QUIC/HTTP/3 connect right away. Should that not
succeed after 100ms (subject to change), a parallel attempt
is started for HTTP/2 and HTTP/1.1 via TCP
- both attempts are subject to IPv6/IPv4 eyeballing, same
as happens for other connections
- tie timeout to the ip-version HAPPY_EYEBALLS_TIMEOUT
- use a `soft` timeout at half the value. When the soft timeout
expires, the HTTPS-CONNECT filter checks if the QUIC filter
has received any data from the server. If not, it will start
the HTTP/2 attempt.

HTTP/3(ngtcp2) improvements.
- setting call_data in all cfilter calls similar to http/2 and vtls filters
for use in callback where no stream data is available.
- returning CURLE_PARTIAL_FILE for prematurely terminated transfers
- enabling pytest test_05 for h3
- shifting functionality to "connect" UDP sockets from ngtcp2
implementation into the udp socket cfilter. Because unconnected
UDP sockets are weird. For example they error when adding to a
pollset.

HTTP/3(quiche) improvements.
- fixed upload bug in quiche implementation, now passes 251 and pytest
- error codes on stream RESET
- improved debug logs
- handling of DRAIN during connect
- limiting pending event queue

HTTP/2 cfilter improvements.
- use LOG_CF macros for dynamic logging in debug build
- fix CURLcode on RST streams to be CURLE_PARTIAL_FILE
- enable pytest test_05 for h2
- fix upload pytests and improve parallel transfer performance.

GOAWAY handling for ngtcp2/quiche
- during connect, when the remote server refuses to accept new connections
and closes immediately (so the local conn goes into DRAIN phase), the
connection is torn down and a another attempt is made after a short grace
period.
This is the behaviour observed with nghttpx when we tell it to shut
down gracefully. Tested in pytest test_03_02.

TLS improvements
- ALPN selection for SSL/SSL-PROXY filters in one vtls set of functions, replaces
copy of logic in all tls backends.
- standardized the infof logging of offered ALPNs
- ALPN negotiated: have common function for all backends that sets alpn proprty
and connection related things based on the negotiated protocol (or lack thereof).

- new tests/tests-httpd/scorecard.py for testing h3/h2 protocol implementation.
Invoke:
python3 tests/tests-httpd/scorecard.py --help
for usage.

Improvements on gathering connect statistics and socket access.
- new CF_CTRL_CONN_REPORT_STATS cfilter control for having cfilters
report connection statistics. This is triggered when the connection
has completely connected.
- new void Curl_pgrsTimeWas(..) method to report a timer update with
a timestamp of when it happend. This allows for updating timers
"later", e.g. a connect statistic after full connectivity has been
reached.
- in case of HTTP eyeballing, the previous changes will update
statistics only from the filter chain that "won" the eyeballing.
- new cfilter query CF_QUERY_SOCKET for retrieving the socket used
by a filter chain.
Added methods Curl_conn_cf_get_socket() and Curl_conn_get_socket()
for convenient use of this query.
- Change VTLS backend to query their sub-filters for the socket when
checks during the handshake are made.

HTTP/3 documentation on how https eyeballing works.

TLS improvements
- ALPN selection for SSL/SSL-PROXY filters in one vtls set of functions, replaces
copy of logic in all tls backends.
- standardized the infof logging of offered ALPNs
- ALPN negotiated: have common function for all backends that sets alpn proprty
and connection related things based on the negotiated protocol (or lack thereof).

Scorecard with Caddy.
- configure can be run with `--with-test-caddy=path` to specify which caddy to use for testing
- tests/tests-httpd/scorecard.py now measures download speeds with caddy

pytest improvements
- adding Makfile to clean gen dir
- adding nghttpx rundir creation on start
- checking httpd version 2.4.55 for test_05 cases where it is needed. Skipping with message if too old.
- catch exception when checking for caddy existance on system.

Makefile.mk: portable Makefile.m32

Update bare GNU Make `Makefile.m32` to:

- Move objects into a subdirectory.
- Add support for MS-DOS. Tested with DJGPP.
- Add support for Watt-32 (on MS-DOS).
- Add support for AmigaOS.
- Rename `Makefile.m32` to `Makefile.mk`
- Replace `ARCH` with `TRIPLET`.
- Build `tool_hugehelp.c` proper (when tools are available).
- Drop MS-DOS compatibility macro `USE_ZLIB` (replaced by `HAVE_LIBZ`)
- Add support for `ZLIB_LIBS` to override `-lz`.
- Omit object files when building examples.
- Default `CC` to `gcc` once again, for convenience. (Caveat: compiler
name `cc` cannot be set now.)
- Set `-DCURL_NO_OLDIES` for examples, like autotools does.
- Delete `makefile.dj` files. Notice the configuration details and
defaults are not retained with the new method.
- Delete `makefile.amiga` files. A successful build needs a few custom
options. We're also not retaining all build details from the existing
Amiga make files.
- Rename `Makefile.m32` to `Makefile.mk` to reflect that they are not
Windows/MinGW32-specific anymore.
- Add support for new `CFG` options: `-map`, `-debug`, `-trackmem`
- Set `-DNDEBUG` by default.
- Allow using `-DOS=...` in all `lib/config-*.h` headers, syncing this
with `config-win32.h`.
- Look for zlib parts in `ZLIB_PATH/include` and `ZLIB_PATH/lib`
instead of bare `ZLIB_PATH`.

Note that existing build configurations for MS-DOS and AmigaOS likely
become incompatible with this change.

Example AmigaOS configuration:
```
export CROSSPREFIX=/opt/amiga/bin/m68k-amigaos-
export CC=gcc
export CPPFLAGS='-DHAVE_PROTO_BSDSOCKET_H'
export CFLAGS='-mcrt=clib2'
export LDFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
export LIBS='-lnet -lm'
make -C lib -f Makefile.mk
make -C src -f Makefile.mk
```

Example MS-DOS configuration:
```
export CROSSPREFIX=/opt/djgpp/bin/i586-pc-msdosdjgpp-
export WATT_PATH=/opt/djgpp/net/watt
export ZLIB_PATH=/opt/djgpp
export OPENSSL_PATH=/opt/djgpp
