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_SIZE_DOWNLOAD - number of downloaded bytes

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD, double *dlp);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a pointer to a double to receive the total amount of bytes that were downloaded. The amount is only for the latest transfer and gets reset again for each new transfer. This counts actual payload data, what's also commonly called body. All meta and header data is excluded and not included in this number.

CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD_T(3) is a newer replacement that returns a more sensible variable type.

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

    /* Perform the request */
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

    if(!res) {
      /* check the size */
      double dl;
      res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD, &dl);
      if(!res) {
        printf("Downloaded %.0f bytes\n", dl);
      }
    }
  }
}

DEPRECATED

Deprecated since 7.55.0.
