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.

# NAME
curl_url - returns a new URL handle
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLU *curl_url();
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
This function allocates a URL object and returns a *CURLU* handle for it,
to be used as input to all other URL API functions.
This is a handle to a URL object that holds or can hold URL components for a
single URL. When the object is first created, there is of course no components
stored. They are then set in the object with the curl_url_set(3)
function.
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURLUcode rc;
CURLU *url = curl_url();
rc = curl_url_set(url, CURLUPART_URL, "https://example.com", 0);
if(!rc) {
char *scheme;
rc = curl_url_get(url, CURLUPART_SCHEME, &scheme, 0);
if(!rc) {
printf("the scheme is %s\n", scheme);
curl_free(scheme);
}
curl_url_cleanup(url);
}
}
~~~
# AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.62.0
