cmdline-opts: language cleanups
Use imperative mood consistently for the first sentence describing an
option.

"Set this" instead "tell curl to set" or "this sets..."

Plus some extra cleanups and rephrasing.

--disable-epsv

Disable the use of the EPSV command when doing passive FTP transfers. Curl normally first attempts to use EPSV before PASV, but with this option, it does not try EPSV.

--epsv can be used to explicitly enable EPSV again and --no-epsv is an alias for --disable-epsv.

If the server is an IPv6 host, this option has no effect as EPSV is necessary then.

Disabling EPSV only changes the passive behavior. If you want to switch to active mode you need to use --ftp-port.
