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_SUPPRESS_CONNECT_HEADERS - suppress proxy CONNECT response headers

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SUPPRESS_CONNECT_HEADERS, long onoff);

DESCRIPTION

When CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL(3) is used and a CONNECT request is made, suppress proxy CONNECT response headers from the user callback functions CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION(3) and CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION(3).

Proxy CONNECT response headers can complicate header processing since it is essentially a separate set of headers. You can enable this option to suppress those headers.

For example let's assume an HTTPS URL is to be retrieved via CONNECT. On success there would normally be two sets of headers, and each header line sent to the header function and/or the write function. The data given to the callbacks would look like this:

HTTP/1.1 200 Connection established
{headers}
...

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
{headers}
...

{body}
...

However by enabling this option the CONNECT response headers are suppressed, so the data given to the callbacks would look like this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
{headers}
...

{body}
...

DEFAULT

0

PROTOCOLS

All

EXAMPLE

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

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1L);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://foo:3128");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, 1L);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SUPPRESS_CONNECT_HEADERS, 1L);

    curl_easy_perform(curl);

    /* always cleanup */
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}
