curl.1: Fix cmdline-opts reference errors.
--data, --form, and --ntlm were declared to be mutually exclusive with
non-existing options. --data and --form referred to --upload (which is
short for --upload-file and therefore did work, so this one was merely
a bit confusing), --ntlm referred to --negotiated instead of --negotiate.

Closes #2612

Enables NTLM authentication. The NTLM authentication method was designed by
Microsoft and is used by IIS web servers. It is a proprietary protocol,
reverse-engineered by clever people and implemented in curl based on their
efforts. This kind of behavior should not be endorsed, you should encourage
everyone who uses NTLM to switch to a public and documented authentication
method instead, such as Digest.
If you want to enable NTLM for your proxy authentication, then use
--proxy-ntlm.
If this option is used several times, only the first one is used.
