docs: introduce "curldown" for libcurl man page format
curldown is this new file format for libcurl man pages. It is markdown
inspired with differences:

- Each file has a set of leading headers with meta-data
- Supports a small subset of markdown
- Uses .md file extensions for editors/IDE/GitHub to treat them nicely
- Generates man pages very similar to the previous ones
- Generates man pages that still convert nicely to HTML on the website
- Detects and highlights mentions of curl symbols automatically (when
  their man page section is specified)

tools:

- cd2nroff: converts from curldown to nroff man page
- nroff2cd: convert an (old) nroff man page to curldown
- cdall: convert many nroff pages to curldown versions
- cd2cd: verifies and updates a curldown to latest curldown

This setup generates .3 versions of all the curldown versions at build time.

CI:

Since the documentation is now technically markdown in the eyes of many
things, the CI runs many more tests and checks on this documentation,
including proselint, link checkers and tests that make sure we capitalize the
first letter after a period...

# NAME
curl_mime_data - set a mime part's body data from memory
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_mime_data(curl_mimepart *part, const char *data,
size_t datasize);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
curl_mime_data(3) sets a mime part's body content from memory data.
*part* is the mime part to assign contents to, created with
curl_mime_addpart(3).
*data* points to the data that gets copied by this function. The storage
may safely be reused after the call.
*datasize* is the number of bytes *data* points to. It can be set to
*CURL_ZERO_TERMINATED* to indicate *data* is a null-terminated
character string.
Setting a part's contents multiple times is valid: only the value set by the
last call is retained. It is possible to unassign part's contents by setting
*data* to NULL.
Setting large data is memory consuming: one might consider using
curl_mime_data_cb(3) in such a case.
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
curl_mime *mime;
curl_mimepart *part;
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
/* create a mime handle */
mime = curl_mime_init(curl);
/* add a part */
part = curl_mime_addpart(mime);
/* add data to the part */
curl_mime_data(part, "raw contents to send", CURL_ZERO_TERMINATED);
}
}

CURLE_OK or a CURL error code upon failure.
