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.

NAME

CURLOPT_MAIL_FROM - SMTP sender address

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAIL_FROM, char *from);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string as parameter. This should be used to specify the sender's email address when sending SMTP mail with libcurl.

An originator email address should be specified with angled brackets (<>) around it, which if not specified are added automatically.

If this parameter is not specified then an empty address is sent to the SMTP server which might cause the email to be rejected.

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.

DEFAULT

blank

PROTOCOLS

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MAIL_FROM, "president@example.com");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}
