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.

Closes #13166

NAME

CURLOPT_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET - abstract Unix domain socket

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET,
                          char *path);

DESCRIPTION

Enables the use of an abstract Unix domain socket instead of establishing a TCP connection to a host. The parameter should be a char * to a null-terminated string holding the path of the socket. The path is set to path prefixed by a NULL byte. This is the convention for abstract sockets, however it should be stressed that the path passed to this function should not contain a leading NULL byte.

On non-supporting platforms, the abstract address is interpreted as an empty string and fails gracefully, generating a runtime error.

This option shares the same semantics as CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH(3) in which documentation more details can be found. Internally, these two options share the same storage and therefore only one of them can be set per handle.

DEFAULT

Default is NULL.

PROTOCOLS

All

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET, "/tmp/foo.sock");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://localhost/");

    /* Perform the request */
    curl_easy_perform(curl);
  }
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in 7.53.0.

RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
