docs: introduce "curldown" for libcurl man page format
curldown is this new file format for libcurl man pages. It is markdown
inspired with differences:

- Each file has a set of leading headers with meta-data
- Supports a small subset of markdown
- Uses .md file extensions for editors/IDE/GitHub to treat them nicely
- Generates man pages very similar to the previous ones
- Generates man pages that still convert nicely to HTML on the website
- Detects and highlights mentions of curl symbols automatically (when
  their man page section is specified)

tools:

- cd2nroff: converts from curldown to nroff man page
- nroff2cd: convert an (old) nroff man page to curldown
- cdall: convert many nroff pages to curldown versions
- cd2cd: verifies and updates a curldown to latest curldown

This setup generates .3 versions of all the curldown versions at build time.

CI:

Since the documentation is now technically markdown in the eyes of many
things, the CI runs many more tests and checks on this documentation,
including proselint, link checkers and tests that make sure we capitalize the
first letter after a period...

# NAME
curl_multi_remove_handle - remove an easy handle from a multi session
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLMcode curl_multi_remove_handle(CURLM *multi_handle, CURL *easy_handle);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Removes a given *easy_handle* from the *multi_handle*. This makes the
specified easy handle be removed from this multi handle's control.
When the easy handle has been removed from a multi stack, it is again
perfectly legal to invoke curl_easy_perform(3) on this easy handle.
Removing an easy handle while being in use is perfectly legal and effectively
halts the transfer in progress involving that easy handle. All other easy
handles and transfers remain unaffected.
It is fine to remove a handle at any time during a transfer, just not from
within any libcurl callback function.
Removing an easy handle from the multi handle before the corresponding
transfer is complete might cause libcurl to close the connection - if the
state of it and the internal protocol handler deem it necessary. Otherwise
libcurl keeps the connection alive in the connection pool associated with the
multi handle, ready to get reused for a future transfer using this multi
handle.
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURLM *multi = curl_multi_init();
int queued = 0;
/* when an easy handle has completed, remove it */
CURLMsg *msg = curl_multi_info_read(multi, &queued);
if(msg) {
if(msg->msg == CURLMSG_DONE) {
/* a transfer ended */
fprintf(stderr, "Transfer completed\n");
curl_multi_remove_handle(multi, msg->easy_handle);
}
}
}

# AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.9.6
# RETURN VALUE
CURLMcode type, general libcurl multi interface error code.
