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

CURLOPT_SASL_AUTHZID - authorization identity (identity to act as)

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SASL_AUTHZID, char *authzid);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a char pointer as parameter, which should be pointing to the null-terminated authorization identity (authzid) for the transfer. Only applicable to the PLAIN SASL authentication mechanism where it is optional.

When not specified only the authentication identity (authcid) as specified by the username is sent to the server, along with the password. The server derives a authzid from the authcid when not provided, which it then uses internally.

When the authzid is specified, the use of which is server dependent, it can be used to access another user's inbox, that the user has been granted access to, or a shared mailbox for example.

DEFAULT

blank

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_USERNAME, "Kurt");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PASSWORD, "xipj3plmq");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SASL_AUTHZID, "Ursel");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}
