CURLINFO: remove 'get' and 'get the' from each short desc

The short descriptions describe the data each info retrieves. The info
itself does not 'get' the data.

This simplifies and shortens the descriptions and make them more
consistent.

Closes #19406

NAME

CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD - last used HTTP request method

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD,
                           char **methodp);

DESCRIPTION

Pass in a pointer to a char pointer and get the last used effective HTTP method.

In cases when you have asked libcurl to follow redirects, the method may not be the same method the first request would use.

The methodp pointer is NULL or points to private memory. You must not free it. The memory gets freed automatically when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the corresponding curl handle.

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "data");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    if(res == CURLE_OK) {
      char *method = NULL;
      curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD, &method);
      if(method)
        printf("Redirected to method: %s\n", method);
    }
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

%AVAILABILITY%

RETURN VALUE

curl_easy_getinfo(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.

CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors(3).
