cmdline/docs: add a required 'multi' keyword for each option
The keyword specifies how option works when specified multiple times:

 - single: the last provided value replaces the earlier ones
 - append: it supports being provided multiple times
 - boolean: on/off values
 - mutex: flag-like option that disable anoter flag

The 'gen.pl' script then outputs the proper and unified language for
each option's multi-use behavior in the generated man page.

The multi: header is requires in each .d file and will cause build error
if missing or set to an unknown value.

curl.1: provide examples for each option
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.

curl.1: mention "global" flags
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.

parallel.
