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_UPKEEP_INTERVAL_MS - connection upkeep interval

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_UPKEEP_INTERVAL_MS,
                          long upkeep_interval_ms);

DESCRIPTION

Some protocols have "connection upkeep" mechanisms. These mechanisms usually send some traffic on existing connections in order to keep them alive; this can prevent connections from being closed due to overzealous firewalls, for example.

The user needs to explicitly call curl_easy_upkeep(3) in order to perform the upkeep work.

Currently the only protocol with a connection upkeep mechanism is HTTP/2: when the connection upkeep interval is exceeded and curl_easy_upkeep(3) is called, an HTTP/2 PING frame is sent on the connection.

DEFAULT

CURL_UPKEEP_INTERVAL_DEFAULT (currently defined as 60000L, which is 60 seconds)

PROTOCOLS

All

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    /* Make a connection to an HTTP/2 server. */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

    /* Set the interval to 30000ms / 30s */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_UPKEEP_INTERVAL_MS, 30000L);

    curl_easy_perform(curl);

    /* Perform more work here. */

    /* While the connection is being held open, curl_easy_upkeep() can be
       called. If curl_easy_upkeep() is called and the time since the last
       upkeep exceeds the interval, then an HTTP/2 PING is sent. */
    curl_easy_upkeep(curl);

    /* Perform more work here. */

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