curl.1: provide examples for each option
The file format for each option now features a "Example:" header that
can provide one or more examples that get rendered appropriately in the
output. All options MUST have at least one example or gen.pl complains
at build-time.

This fix also does a few other minor format and consistency cleanups.

Closes #7654

Help: Allow insecure server connections when using SSL
Protocols: TLS
See-also: proxy-insecure cacert
Category: tls
Example: --insecure $URL
---
By default, every SSL connection curl makes is verified to be secure. This
option allows curl to proceed and operate even for server connections
otherwise considered insecure.
The server connection is verified by making sure the server's certificate
contains the right name and verifies successfully using the cert store.
See this online resource for further details:

**WARNING**: this makes the transfer insecure.
