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_TRANSFER_ENCODING - ask for HTTP Transfer Encoding
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TRANSFER_ENCODING,
long enable);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long set to 1L to enable or 0 to disable.
Adds a request for compressed Transfer Encoding in the outgoing HTTP request. If the server supports this and so desires, it can respond with the HTTP response sent using a compressed Transfer-Encoding that is automatically uncompressed by libcurl on reception.
Transfer-Encoding differs slightly from the Content-Encoding you ask for with CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING(3) in that a Transfer-Encoding is strictly meant to be for the transfer and thus MUST be decoded before the data arrives in the client. Traditionally, Transfer-Encoding has been much less used and supported by both HTTP clients and HTTP servers.
