Remove the lines saying "protocols: all". It makes the output in the
manpage look funny, and the expectation is probably by default that if
not anything is mentioned about protocols the option apply to them all.
Closes#8021
gen.pl now generates a warning if the "See Also" field is not filled in for a
command line option
All command line options now provide one or more related options. 167
"See alsos" added!
Closes#8019
Treat consecutive lines that start with a space to be "examples". They
are output enclosed by .nf and .fi
Updated form.d to use this new fanciness
Closes#8016
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.

tool_listhelp.c is now a separate file with only the command line --help
output, exactly as generated by gen.pl. This makes it easier to generate
updates according to what's in the docs/cmdline-opts docs.
cd $srcroot/docs/cmdline-opts
./gen.pl listhelp *.d > $srcroot/src/tool_listhelp.c
With a configure build, this also works:
make -C src listhelp

The previous strftime format used didn't work correctly on Windows, so

Bug: #7782Closes#7793
Since "too old" versions are no longer included in the generated man
page, this field is now mandatory so that it won't be forgotten and then
not included in the documentation.
Closes#7786
To make the man page more readable, this change removes all references
to changes in support/versions etc that happened before 7.30.0 from the
curl.1 output file. 7.30.0 was released on Apr 12 2013. This particular
limit is a bit arbitrary but was fairly easy to grep for.
It is handled like this: the 'Added' keyword is only used in output if
it refers to 7.30.0 or later. All occurances of "(Added in $VERSION)" in
description will be stripped out if the mentioned $VERSION is from
before 7.30.0. It is therefore important that the "Added in..."
references are always written exactly like that - and on a single line,
not split over two.
This change removes about 80 version number references from curl.1, down
to 138 from 218.
Closes#7786
The file format for each option now features a "Example:" header that
can provide one or more examples that get rendered appropriately in the
output. All options MUST have at least one example or gen.pl complains
at build-time.
This fix also does a few other minor format and consistency cleanups.
Closes#7654
Since this option is also used for FTP, it needs to work to set for
applications even if hyper doesn't support it for HTTP. Verified by test
1137.
Updated docs to specify that the option doesn't work for HTTP when using
the hyper backend.
Closes#7614
Mention options that are "global". A global command line option is one
that doesn't get reset at --next uses and therefore don't need to be
used again.

- Add protocols field to max-filesize.d.
- Revert wording on unknown file size caveat and do not discuss specific
protocols in that section.
Partial revert of ecf0225. All max-filesize options now have the list of
protocols and it's clearer just to have that list without discussing
specific protocols in the caveat.

Also make it clearer that the caveat 'if the file size is unknown it
the option will have no effect' may apply to protocols other than FTP
and HTTP.
