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_UPKEEP_INTERVAL_MS - connection upkeep interval

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_UPKEEP_INTERVAL_MS,
                          long upkeep_interval_ms);

DESCRIPTION

Some protocols have "connection upkeep" mechanisms. These mechanisms usually send some traffic on existing connections in order to keep them alive; this can prevent connections from being closed due to overzealous firewalls, for example.

The user needs to explicitly call curl_easy_upkeep(3) in order to perform the upkeep work.

Currently the only protocol with a connection upkeep mechanism is HTTP/2: when the connection upkeep interval is exceeded and curl_easy_upkeep(3) is called, an HTTP/2 PING frame is sent on the connection.

DEFAULT

CURL_UPKEEP_INTERVAL_DEFAULT (currently defined as 60000L, which is 60 seconds)

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    /* Make a connection to an HTTP/2 server. */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

    /* Set the interval to 30000ms / 30s */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_UPKEEP_INTERVAL_MS, 30000L);

    curl_easy_perform(curl);

    /* Perform more work here. */

    /* While the connection is being held open, curl_easy_upkeep() can be
       called. If curl_easy_upkeep() is called and the time since the last
       upkeep exceeds the interval, then an HTTP/2 PING is sent. */
    curl_easy_upkeep(curl);

    /* Perform more work here. */

    /* always cleanup */
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

AVAILABILITY
