curl.1: provide examples for each option
The file format for each option now features a "Example:" header that
can provide one or more examples that get rendered appropriately in the
output. All options MUST have at least one example or gen.pl complains
at build-time.

This fix also does a few other minor format and consistency cleanups.

Help: Trigger 'speed-limit' abort after this time
Category: connection
Example: --speed-limit 300 --speed-time 10 $URL
---
If a download is slower than speed-limit bytes per second during a speed-time
period, the download gets aborted. If speed-time is used, the default
speed-limit will be 1 unless set with --speed-limit.
This option controls transfers and thus will not affect slow connects etc. If
this is a concern for you, try the --connect-timeout option.
If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
