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_pushheader_byname - get a push header by name
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
char *curl_pushheader_byname(struct curl_pushheaders *h, const char *name);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
This is a function that is only functional within a
CURLMOPT_PUSHFUNCTION(3) callback. It makes no sense to try to use it
elsewhere and it has no function then.
It returns the value for the given header field name (or NULL) for the
incoming server push request. This is a shortcut so that the application does
not have to loop through all headers to find the one it is interested in. The
data this function points to is freed when this callback returns. If more than
one header field use the same name, this returns only the first one.
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
#include <string.h> /* for strncmp */
static int push_cb(CURL *parent,
CURL *easy,
size_t num_headers,
struct curl_pushheaders *headers,
void *clientp)
{
char *headp;
int *transfers = (int *)clientp;
FILE *out;
headp = curl_pushheader_byname(headers, ":path");
if(headp && !strncmp(headp, "/push-", 6)) {
fprintf(stderr, "The PATH is %s\n", headp);
/* save the push here */
out = fopen("pushed-stream", "wb");
/* write to this file */
curl_easy_setopt(easy, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, out);
(*transfers)++; /* one more */
return CURL_PUSH_OK;
}
return CURL_PUSH_DENY;
}
int main(void)
{
int counter;
CURLM *multi = curl_multi_init();
curl_multi_setopt(multi, CURLMOPT_PUSHFUNCTION, push_cb);
curl_multi_setopt(multi, CURLMOPT_PUSHDATA, &counter);
}
~~~
# AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.44.0
# RETURN VALUE
Returns a pointer to the header field content or NULL.
