docs/libcurl: generate PROTOCOLS from meta-data
Remove the PROTOCOLS section from the source files completely and
instead generate them based on the header data in the curldown files.

It also generates TLS backend information for options marked for TLS as
protocol.

# NAME
CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE - TCP keep-alive probing
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE, long probe);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. If set to 1, TCP keepalive probes are used. The delay and
frequency of these probes can be controlled by the
CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE(3) and CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPINTVL(3) options,
provided the operating system supports them. Set to 0 (default behavior) to
disable keepalive probes
# DEFAULT
0
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
/* enable TCP keep-alive for this transfer */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE, 1L);
/* keep-alive idle time to 120 seconds */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE, 120L);
/* interval time between keep-alive probes: 60 seconds */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPINTVL, 60L);
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
}
~~~
# AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.25.0
# RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
