docs: make gen.pl support *italic* and **bold**
Remove some nroffisms from the cmdline doc files to simplify editing,
and instead support this markdown style.

Long: proto-default
Help: Use PROTOCOL for any URL missing a scheme
Arg: <protocol>
Added: 7.45.0
Category: connection curl
---
Tells curl to use *protocol* for any URL missing a scheme name.
Example:
curl --proto-default https ftp.mozilla.org
An unknown or unsupported protocol causes error
*CURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL* (1).
This option does not change the default proxy protocol (http).
Without this option curl would make a guess based on the host, see --url for
details.
