docs/libcurl: generate PROTOCOLS from meta-data

Remove the PROTOCOLS section from the source files completely and
instead generate them based on the header data in the curldown files.

It also generates TLS backend information for options marked for TLS as
protocol.

Closes #13175

NAME

CURLOPT_REQUEST_TARGET - alternative target for this request

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_REQUEST_TARGET, string);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a char pointer to string which libcurl uses in the upcoming request instead of the path as extracted from the URL.

libcurl passes on the verbatim string in its request without any filter or other safe guards. That includes white space and control characters.

DEFAULT

NULL

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/*");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "OPTIONS");

    /* issue an OPTIONS * request (no leading slash) */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_REQUEST_TARGET, "*");

    /* Perform the request */
    curl_easy_perform(curl);
  }
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in 7.55.0

RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
