docs: consistent manpage SYNOPSIS
Make all libcurl related options use .nf (no fill) for the SYNOPSIS
section - for consistent look. roffit then renders that section using
<pre> (monospace font) in html for the website.

Extended manpage-syntax (test 1173) with a basic check for it.

Closes #8062

.TH CURLMOPT_MAX_PIPELINE_LENGTH 3 "4 Nov 2014" "libcurl 7.39.0" "curl_multi_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLMOPT_MAX_PIPELINE_LENGTH \- maximum number of requests in a pipeline
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLMcode curl_multi_setopt(CURLM *handle, CURLMOPT_MAX_PIPELINE_LENGTH,
long max);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
No function since pipelining was removed in 7.62.0.
Pass a long. The set \fBmax\fP number will be used as the maximum amount of
outstanding requests in an HTTP/1.1 pipelined connection. This option is only
used for HTTP/1.1 pipelining, not for HTTP/2 multiplexing.
When this limit is reached, libcurl will use another connection to the same
host (see \fICURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS(3)\fP), or queue the request until
one of the pipelines to the host is ready to accept a request. Thus, the
total number of requests in-flight is \fICURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS(3)\fP *
\fICURLMOPT_MAX_PIPELINE_LENGTH(3)\fP.
.SH DEFAULT
5
.SH PROTOCOLS
HTTP(S)
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
CURLM *m = curl_multi_init();
/* set a more conservative pipe length */

.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.30.0
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLM_OK if the option is supported, and CURLM_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
