cmdline-opts: category cleanup
Option cleanups:

 --get is not upload
 --form* are post
 - added several options into ldap, smtp, imap and pop3
 - shortened the category descriptions in the list

category curl fixes:

 --create-dirs removed from 'curl'
 --ftp-create-dirs removed from 'curl'
 --netrc moved to 'auth' from 'curl'
 --netrc-file moved to 'auth' from 'curl'
 --netrc-optional moved to 'auth' from 'curl'
 --no-buffer moved to 'output' from 'curl'
 --no-clobber removed from 'curl'
 --output removed from 'curl'
 --output-dir removed from 'curl'
 --remove-on-error removed from 'curl'

Add a "global" category:

- Made all "global" options set this category

Add a "deprecated" category:

- Moved the deprecated options to it (maybe they should not be in any
 category long term)

Add a 'timeout' category

- Put a number of appropriate options in it

Add an 'ldap' category

- Put the LDAP related option in there

Remove categories "ECH" and "ipfs"

- They should not be categories. Had only one single option each.

Remove category "misc"

- It should not be a category as it is impossible to know when to browse
  it.

--use-ascii moved to ftp and output
--xattr moved to output
--service-name moved to auth

Managen fixes:

- errors if an option is given a category name that is not already setup
  for in code

- verifies that options set `scope: global` also is put in category
  `global´

--parallel

Makes curl perform all transfers in parallel as compared to the regular serial manner. Parallel transfer means that curl runs up to N concurrent transfers simultaneously and if there are more than N transfers to handle, it starts new ones when earlier transfers finish.

With parallel transfers, the progress meter output is different than when doing serial transfers, as it then displays the transfer status for multiple transfers in a single line.

The maximum amount of concurrent transfers is set with --parallel-max and it defaults to 50.
