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
curl_mime_subparts - set sub-parts of a multipart mime part
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_mime_subparts(curl_mimepart *part, curl_mime *subparts);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
curl_mime_subparts(3) sets a multipart mime part's content from a mime
structure.
*part* is a handle to the multipart part.
*subparts* is a mime structure handle holding the sub-parts. After
curl_mime_subparts(3) succeeds, the mime structure handle belongs to the
multipart part and must not be freed explicitly. It may however be updated by
subsequent calls to mime API functions.
Setting a part's contents multiple times is valid: only the value set by the
last call is retained. It is possible to unassign previous part's contents by
setting *subparts* to NULL.
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
static char *inline_html = "<title>example</title>";
static char *inline_text = "once upon the time";
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
struct curl_slist *slist;
/* The inline part is an alternative proposing the html and the text
versions of the email. */
curl_mime *alt = curl_mime_init(curl);
curl_mimepart *part;
/* HTML message. */
part = curl_mime_addpart(alt);
curl_mime_data(part, inline_html, CURL_ZERO_TERMINATED);
curl_mime_type(part, "text/html");
/* Text message. */
part = curl_mime_addpart(alt);
curl_mime_data(part, inline_text, CURL_ZERO_TERMINATED);
/* Create the inline part. */
part = curl_mime_addpart(alt);
curl_mime_subparts(part, alt);
curl_mime_type(part, "multipart/alternative");
slist = curl_slist_append(NULL, "Content-Disposition: inline");
curl_mime_headers(part, slist, 1);
}
}
