Use imperative mood consistently for the first sentence describing an option. "Set this" instead "tell curl to set" or "this sets..." Plus some extra cleanups and rephrasing. Closes #13106

--anyauth
Figure out authentication method automatically, and use the most secure one the remote site claims to support. This is done by first doing a request and checking the response-headers, thus possibly inducing an extra network round-trip. This option is used instead of setting a specific authentication method, which you can do with --basic, --digest, --ntlm, and --negotiate.
Using --anyauth is not recommended if you do uploads from stdin, since it may require data to be sent twice and then the client must be able to rewind. If the need should arise when uploading from stdin, the upload operation fails.
Used together with --user.
