docs: introduce "curldown" for libcurl man page format
curldown is this new file format for libcurl man pages. It is markdown
inspired with differences:

- Each file has a set of leading headers with meta-data
- Supports a small subset of markdown
- Uses .md file extensions for editors/IDE/GitHub to treat them nicely
- Generates man pages very similar to the previous ones
- Generates man pages that still convert nicely to HTML on the website
- Detects and highlights mentions of curl symbols automatically (when
  their man page section is specified)

tools:

- cd2nroff: converts from curldown to nroff man page
- nroff2cd: convert an (old) nroff man page to curldown
- cdall: convert many nroff pages to curldown versions
- cd2cd: verifies and updates a curldown to latest curldown

This setup generates .3 versions of all the curldown versions at build time.

CI:

Since the documentation is now technically markdown in the eyes of many
things, the CI runs many more tests and checks on this documentation,
including proselint, link checkers and tests that make sure we capitalize the
first letter after a period...

NAME

CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_PASSWORD - password to use for TLS authentication

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_PASSWORD, char *pwd);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a char pointer as parameter, which should point to the null-terminated password to use for the TLS authentication method specified with the CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_TYPE(3) option. Requires that the CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_USERNAME(3) option also be set.

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.

This feature relies in TLS SRP which does not work with TLS 1.3.

DEFAULT

NULL

PROTOCOLS

All TLS-based protocols

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_TYPE, "SRP");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_USERNAME, "user");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TLSAUTH_PASSWORD, "secret");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in 7.21.4, with the OpenSSL and GnuTLS backends only

RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
