cmdline-opts: language cleanups 
Use imperative mood consistently for the first sentence describing an
option.

"Set this" instead "tell curl to set" or "this sets..."

Plus some extra cleanups and rephrasing.

--ftp-method

Control what method curl should use to reach a file on an FTP(S) server. The method argument should be one of the following alternatives:

multicwd

Do a single CWD operation for each path part in the given URL. For deep hierarchies this means many commands. This is how RFC 1738 says it should be done. This is the default but the slowest behavior.

nocwd

Do no CWD at all. curl does SIZE, RETR, STOR etc and gives the full path to the server for each of these commands. This is the fastest behavior.

singlecwd

Do one CWD with the full target directory and then operate on the file "normally" (like in the multicwd case). This is somewhat more standards compliant than nocwd but without the full penalty of multicwd.
