cmdline/docs: add a required 'multi' keyword for each option
The keyword specifies how option works when specified multiple times:

 - single: the last provided value replaces the earlier ones
 - append: it supports being provided multiple times
 - boolean: on/off values
 - mutex: flag-like option that disable anoter flag

The 'gen.pl' script then outputs the proper and unified language for
each option's multi-use behavior in the generated man page.

The multi: header is requires in each .d file and will cause build error
if missing or set to an unknown value.

Closes #9759

Multi: boolean

This option tells curl to not work around a security flaw in the SSL3 and
TLS1.0 protocols known as BEAST. If this option is not used, the SSL layer
may use workarounds known to cause interoperability problems with some older
SSL implementations.
**WARNING**: this option loosens the SSL security, and by using this flag you
ask for exactly that.
