docs/libcurl: generate PROTOCOLS from meta-data

Remove the PROTOCOLS section from the source files completely and
instead generate them based on the header data in the curldown files.

It also generates TLS backend information for options marked for TLS as
protocol.

Closes #13175

NAME

CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS - allowed protocols

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS, long bitmask);

DESCRIPTION

This option is deprecated. We strongly recommend using CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS_STR(3) instead because this option cannot control all available protocols!

Pass a long that holds a bitmask of CURLPROTO_* defines. If used, this bitmask limits what protocols libcurl may use in the transfer. This allows you to have a libcurl built to support a wide range of protocols but still limit specific transfers to only be allowed to use a subset of them. By default libcurl accepts all protocols it supports (CURLPROTO_ALL). See also CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS(3).

These are the available protocol defines:

CURLPROTO_DICT
CURLPROTO_FILE
CURLPROTO_FTP
CURLPROTO_FTPS
CURLPROTO_GOPHER
CURLPROTO_HTTP
CURLPROTO_HTTPS
CURLPROTO_IMAP
CURLPROTO_IMAPS
CURLPROTO_LDAP
CURLPROTO_LDAPS
CURLPROTO_POP3
CURLPROTO_POP3S
CURLPROTO_RTMP
CURLPROTO_RTMPE
CURLPROTO_RTMPS
CURLPROTO_RTMPT
CURLPROTO_RTMPTE
CURLPROTO_RTMPTS
CURLPROTO_RTSP
CURLPROTO_SCP
CURLPROTO_SFTP
CURLPROTO_SMB
CURLPROTO_SMBS
CURLPROTO_SMTP
CURLPROTO_SMTPS
CURLPROTO_TELNET
CURLPROTO_TFTP

DEFAULT

All protocols built-in.

EXAMPLE

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    /* pass in the URL from an external source */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, argv[1]);

    /* only allow HTTP, TFTP and SFTP */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS,
                     CURLPROTO_HTTP | CURLPROTO_TFTP | CURLPROTO_SFTP);

    /* Perform the request */
    curl_easy_perform(curl);
  }
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in 7.19.4. Deprecated since 7.85.0.

RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
