cmdline-opts: category cleanup
Option cleanups:

 --get is not upload
 --form* are post
 - added several options into ldap, smtp, imap and pop3
 - shortened the category descriptions in the list

category curl fixes:

 --create-dirs removed from 'curl'
 --ftp-create-dirs removed from 'curl'
 --netrc moved to 'auth' from 'curl'
 --netrc-file moved to 'auth' from 'curl'
 --netrc-optional moved to 'auth' from 'curl'
 --no-buffer moved to 'output' from 'curl'
 --no-clobber removed from 'curl'
 --output removed from 'curl'
 --output-dir removed from 'curl'
 --remove-on-error removed from 'curl'

Add a "global" category:

- Made all "global" options set this category

Add a "deprecated" category:

- Moved the deprecated options to it (maybe they should not be in any
 category long term)

Add a 'timeout' category

- Put a number of appropriate options in it

Add an 'ldap' category

- Put the LDAP related option in there

Remove categories "ECH" and "ipfs"

- They should not be categories. Had only one single option each.

Remove category "misc"

- It should not be a category as it is impossible to know when to browse
  it.

--use-ascii moved to ftp and output
--xattr moved to output
--service-name moved to auth

Managen fixes:

- errors if an option is given a category name that is not already setup
  for in code

- verifies that options set `scope: global` also is put in category
  `global´

--create-dirs

When used in conjunction with the --output option, curl creates the necessary local directory hierarchy as needed. This option creates the directories mentioned with the --output option combined with the path possibly set with --output-dir. If the combined output filename uses no directory, or if the directories it mentions already exist, no directories are created.

Created directories are made with mode 0750 on unix style file systems.

To create remote directories when using FTP or SFTP, try --ftp-create-dirs.
