docs/libcurl: polish the single-line descriptions

- use imperative form
- use lowercase
- no period
- unify some phrases
- fix curl_multi_socket and curl_multi_socket_all to keep their own
  descriptions

# DESCRIPTION
These functions are deprecated. Do not use. See
curl_multi_socket_action(3) instead.
This function is deprecated. Do not use. See curl_multi_socket_action(3)
instead.
At return, the integer **running_handles** points to contains the number of
still running easy handles within the multi handle. When this number reaches
zero, all transfers are complete/done. Note that when you call
curl_multi_socket_action(3) on a specific socket and the counter
decreases by one, it DOES NOT necessarily mean that this exact socket/transfer
is the one that completed. Use curl_multi_info_read(3) to figure out
which easy handle that completed.
The curl_multi_socket_action(3) functions inform the application about
updates in the socket (file descriptor) status by doing none, one, or multiple
calls to the socket callback function set with the
CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION(3) option to curl_multi_setopt(3). They
update the status with changes since the previous time the callback was
called.
Get the timeout time by setting the CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION(3) option
with curl_multi_setopt(3). Your application then gets called with
information on how long to wait for socket actions at most before doing the
timeout action: call the curl_multi_socket_action(3) function with the
**sockfd** argument set to CURL_SOCKET_TIMEOUT. You can also use the
curl_multi_timeout(3) function to poll the value at any given time, but
for an event-based system using the callback is far better than relying on
polling the timeout value.
Usage of curl_multi_socket(3) is deprecated, whereas the function is
equivalent to curl_multi_socket_action(3) with **ev_bitmask** set to
0.
zero, all transfers are complete/done.
Force libcurl to (re-)check all its internal sockets and transfers instead of
just a single one by calling curl_multi_socket_all(3). Note that there
should not be any reason to use this function.
