curldown: fixups
- make DEFAULT sections less repetitive

- make historic mentions use HISTORY

- generate the protocols section on `# %PROTOCOLS%` instead of guessing
  where to put it

- generate the availability section on `# %AVAILABILITY%` instead of
  guessing where to put it

- make the protocols section more verbose

NAME

curl_version - returns the libcurl version string

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

char *curl_version();

DESCRIPTION

Returns a human readable string with the version number of libcurl and some of its important components (like OpenSSL version).

We recommend using curl_version_info(3) instead!

%PROTOCOLS%

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  printf("libcurl version %s\n", curl_version());
}

%AVAILABILITY%

RETURN VALUE

A pointer to a null-terminated string. The string resides in a statically allocated buffer and must not be freed by the caller.
