curldown: make 'added-in:' a mandatory header field
- generate AVAILABILITY manpage sections automatically - for consistent
  wording

- allows us to double-check against other documumentation (symbols-in-versions
  etc)

- enables proper automation/scripting based on this data

- lots of them were wrong or missing in the manpages

- several of them repeated (sometimes mismatching) backend support info

Add test 1488 to verify "added-in" version numbers against
symbols-in-versions.

Closes #14217

NAME

CURLOPT_FTP_ALTERNATIVE_TO_USER - command to use instead of USER with FTP

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_FTP_ALTERNATIVE_TO_USER,
                          char *cmd);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a char pointer as parameter, pointing to a string which is used to authenticate if the usual FTP "USER user" and "PASS password" negotiation fails. This is currently only known to be required when connecting to Tumbleweed's Secure Transport FTPS server using client certificates for authentication.

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.

DEFAULT

NULL

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/foo.bin");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FTP_ALTERNATIVE_TO_USER, "two users");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
