cmdline-opts: made the 'Added:' field mandatory
Since "too old" versions are no longer included in the generated man
page, this field is now mandatory so that it won't be forgotten and then
not included in the documentation.

Help: Allow insecure server connections when using SSL

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.
