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

Long: post301
Help: Do not switch to GET after following a 301
Protocols: HTTP
See-also: post302 post303 location
Added: 7.17.1
Category: http post
Example: --post301 --location -d "data" $URL
---
Tells curl to respect RFC 7231/6.4.2 and not convert POST requests into GET
requests when following a 301 redirection. The non-RFC behavior is ubiquitous
in web browsers, so curl does the conversion by default to maintain
consistency. However, a server may require a POST to remain a POST after such
a redirection. This option is meaningful only when using --location.
