curldown: make 'added-in:' a mandatory header field

- generate AVAILABILITY manpage sections automatically - for consistent
wording

- allows us to double-check against other documumentation (symbols-in-versions
etc)

- enables proper automation/scripting based on this data

- lots of them were wrong or missing in the manpages

- several of them repeated (sometimes mismatching) backend support info

Add test 1488 to verify "added-in" version numbers against
symbols-in-versions.

lib: clear the easy handle's saved errno before transfer

lib: clear the easy handle's saved errno before transfer

- Clear data->state.os_errno before transfer.

- Explain the change in behavior in the CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO doc.

- Add to the CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO doc the list of libcurl network-related
errors that may cause the errno to be saved.

data->state.os_errno is saved before libcurl returns a network-related
failure such as connection failure. It is accessible to the user via
CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO so they can get more information about the failure.

Prior to this change it wasn't cleared before transfer, so if a user
retrieved the saved errno it could be from a previous transfer. That is
because an errno is not always saved for network-related errors.

docs: make each libcurl man specify protocol(s)

The mandatory header now has a mandatory list of protocols for which the
manpage is relevant.

Most man pages already has a "PROTOCOLS" section, but this introduces a
stricter way to specify the relevant protocols.

cd2nroff verifies that at least one protocol is mentioned (which can be
`*`).

This information is not used just yet, but A) the PROTOCOLS section can
now instead get generated and get a unified wording across all manpages
and B) this allows us to more reliably filter/search for protocol
specific manpages/options.

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...
