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.

Closes #7786

Long: url
Arg: <url>
Help: URL to work with
Category: curl
Example: --url $URL
Added: 7.5
---
Specify a URL to fetch. This option is mostly handy when you want to specify
URL(s) in a config file.
If the given URL is missing a scheme name (such as "http://" or "ftp://" etc)
then curl will make a guess based on the host. If the outermost sub-domain
name matches DICT, FTP, IMAP, LDAP, POP3 or SMTP then that protocol will be
used, otherwise HTTP will be used. Since 7.45.0 guessing can be disabled by
setting a default protocol, see --proto-default for details.
This option may be used any number of times. To control where this URL is
written, use the --output or the --remote-name options.
**WARNING**: On Windows, particular file:// accesses can be converted to
network accesses by the operating system. Beware!
