docs: make each libcurl man specify protocol(s)
The mandatory header now has a mandatory list of protocols for which the
manpage is relevant.

Most man pages already has a "PROTOCOLS" section, but this introduces a
stricter way to specify the relevant protocols.

cd2nroff verifies that at least one protocol is mentioned (which can be
`*`).

This information is not used just yet, but A) the PROTOCOLS section can
now instead get generated and get a unified wording across all manpages
and B) this allows us to more reliably filter/search for protocol
specific manpages/options.

Closes #13166

NAME

curl_mime_data - set a mime part's body data from memory

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_mime_data(curl_mimepart *part, const char *data,
                        size_t datasize);

DESCRIPTION

curl_mime_data(3) sets a mime part's body content from memory data.

part is the mime part to assign contents to, created with curl_mime_addpart(3).

data points to the data that gets copied by this function. The storage may safely be reused after the call.

datasize is the number of bytes data points to. It can be set to CURL_ZERO_TERMINATED to indicate data is a null-terminated character string.

Setting a part's contents multiple times is valid: only the value set by the last call is retained. It is possible to unassign part's contents by setting data to NULL.

Setting large data is memory consuming: one might consider using curl_mime_data_cb(3) in such a case.

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  curl_mime *mime;
  curl_mimepart *part;

  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    /* create a mime handle */
    mime = curl_mime_init(curl);

    /* add a part */
    part = curl_mime_addpart(mime);

    /* add data to the part  */
    curl_mime_data(part, "raw contents to send", CURL_ZERO_TERMINATED);
  }
}

AVAILABILITY

As long as at least one of HTTP, SMTP or IMAP is enabled. Added in 7.56.0.

RETURN VALUE

CURLE_OK or a CURL error code upon failure.
