docs: make each libcurl man specify protocol(s)
The mandatory header now has a mandatory list of protocols for which the
manpage is relevant.

Most man pages already has a "PROTOCOLS" section, but this introduces a
stricter way to specify the relevant protocols.

cd2nroff verifies that at least one protocol is mentioned (which can be
`*`).

This information is not used just yet, but A) the PROTOCOLS section can
now instead get generated and get a unified wording across all manpages
and B) this allows us to more reliably filter/search for protocol
specific manpages/options.

NAME

curl_pushheader_byname - get a push header by name

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

char *curl_pushheader_byname(struct curl_pushheaders *h, const char *name);

DESCRIPTION

This is a function that is only functional within a CURLMOPT_PUSHFUNCTION(3) callback. It makes no sense to try to use it elsewhere and it has no function then.

It returns the value for the given header field name (or NULL) for the incoming server push request. This is a shortcut so that the application does not have to loop through all headers to find the one it is interested in. The data this function points to is freed when this callback returns. If more than one header field use the same name, this returns only the first one.

EXAMPLE

#include <string.h> /* for strncmp */

static int push_cb(CURL *parent,
                   CURL *easy,
                   size_t num_headers,
                   struct curl_pushheaders *headers,
                   void *clientp)
{
  char *headp;
  int *transfers = (int *)clientp;
  FILE *out;
  headp = curl_pushheader_byname(headers, ":path");
  if(headp && !strncmp(headp, "/push-", 6)) {
    fprintf(stderr, "The PATH is %s\n", headp);

    /* save the push here */
    out = fopen("pushed-stream", "wb");

    /* write to this file */
    curl_easy_setopt(easy, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, out);

    (*transfers)++; /* one more */

    return CURL_PUSH_OK;
  }
  return CURL_PUSH_DENY;
}

int main(void)
{
  int counter;
  CURLM *multi = curl_multi_init();
  curl_multi_setopt(multi, CURLMOPT_PUSHFUNCTION, push_cb);
  curl_multi_setopt(multi, CURLMOPT_PUSHDATA, &counter);
}

AVAILABILITY

RETURN VALUE

Returns a pointer to the header field content or NULL.
