Tells curl to pass on names of multipart form fields and files using
backslash-escaping instead of percent-encoding.
docs/cmdline-opts: add copyright and license identifier to each file gen.pl now insists on C: and SPDX-License-Identifier: fields to be present in all files. Closes #9002 2022-06-14 06:12:03 +08:00			`c: Copyright (C) 1998 - 2022, Daniel Stenberg, <daniel@haxx.se>, et al.`

mime: use percent-escaping for multipart form field and file names Until now, form field and file names where escaped using the backslash-escaping algorithm defined for multipart mails. This commit replaces this with the percent-escaping method for URLs. As this may introduce incompatibilities with server-side applications, a new libcurl option CURLOPT_MIME_OPTIONS with bitmask CURLMIMEOPT_FORMESCAPE is introduced to revert to legacy use of backslash-escaping. This is controlled by new cli tool option --form-escape. New tests and documentation are provided for this feature.

docs/cmdline-opts: fix example and categories for --form-escape The example was missing a "--form" argument I also replaced "--form" with "-F" to shorten the line a bit since it was already very long. And I also moved --form-escape from the "post" category to the "upload" category (this is what I originally wanted to fix, before also noticing the mistake in the example).
