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

# NAME
CURLINFO_COOKIELIST - all known cookies
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_COOKIELIST,
struct curl_slist **cookies);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a 'struct curl_slist *' to receive a linked-list of all
cookies curl knows (expired ones, too). Do not forget to call
curl_slist_free_all(3) on the list after it has been used. If there are no
cookies (cookies for the handle have not been enabled or none have been
received) the 'struct curl_slist *' is made a NULL pointer.
Cookies that were imported in the Set-Cookie format without a domain name are
not exported by this option.
# %PROTOCOLS%
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode result;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
/* enable the cookie engine */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "");
result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(result == CURLE_OK) {
/* extract all known cookies */
struct curl_slist *cookies = NULL;
result = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_COOKIELIST, &cookies);
if(!result && cookies) {
/* a linked list of cookies in cookie file format */
struct curl_slist *each = cookies;
while(each) {
printf("%s\n", each->data);
each = each->next;
}
/* we must free these cookies when we are done */
curl_slist_free_all(cookies);
}
}
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).
