docs/cmdline: change to .md for cmdline docs
- switch all invidual files documenting command line options into .md,
   as the documentation is now markdown-looking.

 - made the parser treat 4-space indents as quotes

 - switch to building the curl.1 manpage using the "mainpage.idx" file,
   which lists the files to include to generate it, instead of using the
   previous page-footer/headers. Also, those files are now also .md
   ones, using the same format. I gave them underscore prefixes to make
   them sort separately:
   _NAME.md, _SYNOPSIS.md, _DESCRIPTION.md, _URL.md, _GLOBBING.md,
   _VARIABLES.md, _OUTPUT.md, _PROTOCOLS.md, _PROGRESS.md, _VERSION.md,
   _OPTIONS.md, _FILES.md, _ENVIRONMENT.md, _PROXYPREFIX.md,
   _EXITCODES.md, _BUGS.md, _AUTHORS.md, _WWW.md, _SEEALSO.md

 - updated test cases accordingly

Closes #12751

--http2

Tells curl to use HTTP version 2.

For HTTPS, this means curl negotiates HTTP/2 in the TLS handshake. curl does this by default.

For HTTP, this means curl attempts to upgrade the request to HTTP/2 using the Upgrade: request header.

When curl uses HTTP/2 over HTTPS, it does not itself insist on TLS 1.2 or higher even though that is required by the specification. A user can add this version requirement with --tlsv1.2.
