Closes#10205
Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
Make all libcurl related options use .nf (no fill) for the SYNOPSIS

Extended manpage-syntax (test 1173) with a basic check for it.
Closes#8062

description.
- start with lowercase letter, unless abbreviation. For consistency.
- Some additional touch-ups

examples to use https://example.com instead of the previous "http://..."

refer of them and what users in general seem to prefer (based on a
single highly unscientific poll on twitter).
