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_easy_option_next - iterate over easy setopt options
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
const struct curl_easyoption *
curl_easy_option_next(const struct curl_easyoption *prev);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
This function returns a pointer to the first or the next *curl_easyoption*
struct, providing an ability to iterate over all known options for
curl_easy_setopt(3) in this instance of libcurl.
Pass a **NULL** argument as **prev** to get the first option returned, or
pass in the current option to get the next one returned. If there is no more
option to return, curl_easy_option_next(3) returns NULL.
The options returned by this functions are the ones known to this libcurl and
information about what argument type they want.
If the **CURLOT_FLAG_ALIAS** bit is set in the flags field, it means the
name is provided for backwards compatibility as an alias.
# struct
~~~c
typedef enum {
CURLOT_LONG, /* long (a range of values) */
CURLOT_VALUES, /* (a defined set or bitmask) */
CURLOT_OFF_T, /* curl_off_t (a range of values) */
CURLOT_OBJECT, /* pointer (void *) */
CURLOT_STRING, /* (char * to null-terminated buffer) */
CURLOT_SLIST, /* (struct curl_slist *) */
CURLOT_CBPTR, /* (void * passed as-is to a callback) */
CURLOT_BLOB, /* blob (struct curl_blob *) */
CURLOT_FUNCTION /* function pointer */
} curl_easytype;
/* The CURLOPTTYPE_* id ranges can still be used to figure out what type/size
to use for curl_easy_setopt() for the given id */
struct curl_easyoption {
const char *name;
CURLoption id;
curl_easytype type;
unsigned int flags;
};

# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
/* iterate over all available options */
const struct curl_easyoption *opt;
opt = curl_easy_option_next(NULL);
while(opt) {
printf("Name: %s\n", opt->name);
opt = curl_easy_option_next(opt);
}
}

# AVAILABILITY
This function was added in libcurl 7.73.0
# RETURN VALUE
A pointer to the *curl_easyoption* struct for the next option or NULL if
no more options.
