docs/examples: use curl_multi_poll() in multi examples
The API is soon two years old and deserves being shown as the primary
way to drive multi code as it makes it much easier to write code.

multi-poll: removed

multi-legacy: add to show how we did multi API use before
curl_multi_wait/poll.

Closes #7352
