curl.1: provide examples for each option
The file format for each option now features a "Example:" header that
can provide one or more examples that get rendered appropriately in the
output. All options MUST have at least one example or gen.pl complains
at build-time.

This fix also does a few other minor format and consistency cleanups.

Closes #7654

This option specifies the directory in which files should be stored, when
--remote-name or --output are used.
The given output directory is used for all URLs and output options on the
command line, up until the first --next.
If the specified target directory doesn't exist, the operation will fail
unless --create-dirs is also used.
If this option is used multiple times, the last specified directory will be
used.
