curl.1: mention "global" flags
Mention options that are "global". A global command line option is one
that doesn't get reset at --next uses and therefore don't need to be
used again.

---
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.
