cmake: speed up libcurl doc building again
This time limit the number of files per command to avoid exceeding
limitations of certain OS/shell envs.

Such known env is Windows with the `cmd.exe` shell, which features an
8K command-line length limit to this day.

Allowlisting `UNIX` to have no limit and using a limit of 200 for other
envs to be safe. If there is a way to detect `cmd.exe` and/or we know
which precise envs are sensitive to this, we can tweak these conditions
further.

Even with the low limit, this patch reduces external commands by 200x,
making builds much faster.

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: 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.

cmake: rework options to enable curl and libcurl docs
Rework CMake options for building/using curl tool and libcurl manuals.

- rename `ENABLE_MANUAL` to `ENABLE_CURL_MANUAL`, meaning:
  to build man page and built-in manual for curl tool.

- rename `BUILD_DOCS` to `BUILD_LIBCURL_DOCS`, meaning:
  to build man pages for libcurl.

- `BUILD_LIBCURL_DOCS` now works without having to enable
  `ENABLE_CURL_MANUAL` too.

- drop support for existing CMake-level `USE_MANUAL` option to avoid
  confusion. (It used to work with the effect of current
  `ENABLE_CURL_MANUAL`, but only by accident.)

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...
