docs/libcurl: generate PROTOCOLS from meta-data
Remove the PROTOCOLS section from the source files completely and
instead generate them based on the header data in the curldown files.

It also generates TLS backend information for options marked for TLS as
protocol.

NAME

CURLOPT_DEBUGDATA - pointer passed to the debug callback

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DEBUGDATA, void *pointer);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to whatever you want passed in to your CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3) in the last void * argument. This pointer is not used by libcurl, it is only passed to the callback.

DEFAULT

NULL

EXAMPLE

struct data {
  void *custom;
};

static int my_trace(CURL *handle, curl_infotype type,
                    char *data, size_t size,
                    void *clientp)
{
  struct data *mine = clientp;
  printf("our ptr: %p\n", mine->custom);

  /* output debug info */
}

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl;
  CURLcode res;
  struct data my_tracedata;

  curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION, my_trace);

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DEBUGDATA, &my_tracedata);

    /* the DEBUGFUNCTION has no effect until we enable VERBOSE */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1L);

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

    /* always cleanup */
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
  return 0;
}
