badwords: avoid 'simply'
It's mostly a filler word. I've read through each use of it in the code
base and did minor rephrasings when "simply" carried some meaning. The
overwhelming majority of cases, removing it improved the text
significantly. Inspired by #20793.

Closes #20822

cmdline-opts: language cleanups
Use imperative mood consistently for the first sentence describing an
option.

"Set this" instead "tell curl to set" or "this sets..."

Plus some extra cleanups and rephrasing.

docs/cmdline: change to .md for cmdline docs
- switch all invidual files documenting command line options into .md,
   as the documentation is now markdown-looking.

 - made the parser treat 4-space indents as quotes

 - switch to building the curl.1 manpage using the "mainpage.idx" file,
   which lists the files to include to generate it, instead of using the
   previous page-footer/headers. Also, those files are now also .md
   ones, using the same format. I gave them underscore prefixes to make
   them sort separately:
   _NAME.md, _SYNOPSIS.md, _DESCRIPTION.md, _URL.md, _GLOBBING.md,
   _VARIABLES.md, _OUTPUT.md, _PROTOCOLS.md, _PROGRESS.md, _VERSION.md,
   _OPTIONS.md, _FILES.md, _ENVIRONMENT.md, _PROXYPREFIX.md,
   _EXITCODES.md, _BUGS.md, _AUTHORS.md, _WWW.md, _SEEALSO.md

 - updated test cases accordingly

Closes #12751
