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_IPRESOLVE - IP protocol version to use

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE, long resolve);

DESCRIPTION

Allows an application to select what kind of IP addresses to use when establishing a connection or choosing one from the connection pool. This is interesting when using hostnames that resolve to more than one IP family.

If the URL provided for a transfer contains a numerical IP version as a host name, this option does not override or prohibit libcurl from using that IP version.

Available values for this option are:

CURL_IPRESOLVE_WHATEVER

Default, can use addresses of all IP versions that your system allows.

CURL_IPRESOLVE_V4

Uses only IPv4 addresses.

CURL_IPRESOLVE_V6

Uses only IPv6 addresses.

DEFAULT

CURL_IPRESOLVE_WHATEVER

PROTOCOLS

All

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin");

    /* of all addresses example.com resolves to, only IPv6 ones are used */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE, CURL_IPRESOLVE_V6);

    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

AVAILABILITY

Always

RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK
