docs: consistent manpage SYNOPSIS
Make all libcurl related options use .nf (no fill) for the SYNOPSIS
section - for consistent look. roffit then renders that section using
<pre> (monospace font) in html for the website.

Extended manpage-syntax (test 1173) with a basic check for it.

Closes #8062

.TH CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS \- maximum number of redirects allowed
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, long amount);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. The set number will be the redirection limit \fIamount\fP. If
that many redirections have been followed, the next redirect will cause an
error (\fICURLE_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS\fP). This option only makes sense if the
\fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3)\fP is used at the same time.
Setting the limit to 0 will make libcurl refuse any redirect.
Set it to -1 for an infinite number of redirects.
.SH DEFAULT
-1, unlimited
.SH PROTOCOLS
HTTP(S)
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
/* enable redirect following */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);
/* allow three redirects */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS, 3L);
/* Perform the request */
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY

.SH RETURN VALUE
