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_FRESH_CONNECT - force a new connection to be used

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, long fresh);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a long. Set to 1 to make the next transfer use a new (fresh) connection by force instead of trying to reuse an existing one. This option should be used with caution and only if you understand what it does as it may impact performance negatively.

Related functionality is CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE(3) which makes sure the connection is closed after use so that it cannot be reused.

Set fresh to 0 to have libcurl attempt reusing an existing connection (default behavior).

DEFAULT

0

    /* this transfer must use a new connection, not reuse an existing */
    curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
