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

---
Makes curl verbose during the operation. Useful for debugging and seeing
what's going on "under the hood". A line starting with '>' means "header data"
sent by curl, '<' means "header data" received by curl that is hidden in
normal cases, and a line starting with '*' means additional info provided by
curl.
If you only want HTTP headers in the output, --include might be the option
you're looking for.
If you think this option still doesn't give you enough details, consider using
--trace or --trace-ascii instead.
This option is global and does not need to be specified for each use of
--next.
Use --silent to make curl really quiet.
