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: Create necessary local directory hierarchy
Category: curl
Example: --create-dirs --output local/dir/file $URL
---
When used in conjunction with the --output option, curl will create the
necessary local directory hierarchy as needed. This option creates the
directories mentioned with the --output option, nothing else. If the --output
file name uses no directory, or if the directories it mentions already exist,
no directories will be created.
Created dirs are made with mode 0750 on unix style file systems.
To create remote directories when using FTP or SFTP, try --ftp-create-dirs.
