curl.1: remove mentions of really old version changes

To make the man page more readable, this change removes all references
to changes in support/versions etc that happened before 7.30.0 from the
curl.1 output file. 7.30.0 was released on Apr 12 2013. This particular
limit is a bit arbitrary but was fairly easy to grep for.

It is handled like this: the 'Added' keyword is only used in output if
it refers to 7.30.0 or later. All occurances of "(Added in $VERSION)" in
description will be stripped out if the mentioned $VERSION is from
before 7.30.0. It is therefore important that the "Added in..."
references are always written exactly like that - and on a single line,
not split over two.

This change removes about 80 version number references from curl.1, down
to 138 from 218.

Closes #7786
