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_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE - rate limit data upload speed

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE,
                          curl_off_t maxspeed);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a curl_off_t as parameter with the maxspeed. If an upload exceeds this speed (counted in bytes per second) the transfer pauses to keep the average speed less than or equal to the parameter value. Defaults to unlimited speed.

This is not an exact science. libcurl attempts to keep the average speed below the given threshold over a period time.

If you set maxspeed to a value lower than CURLOPT_UPLOAD_BUFFERSIZE(3), libcurl might "shoot over" the limit on its first send and still send off a full buffer.

This option does not affect transfer speeds done with FILE:// URLs.

DEFAULT

0, disabled

PROTOCOLS

All except file://

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode ret;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
    /* cap the upload speed to 1000 bytes/sec */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE, (curl_off_t)1000);
    /* (set some upload options as well!) */
    ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
  }
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in 7.15.5

RETURN VALUE

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