docs/libcurl: remove ancient version references
To make the texts easier on the eye.

- Remove most free text references to curl versions before 7.60.0 (May
  2018)
- Leave those present in a HISTORY section

Most of them are already documented in symbols-in-versions anyway.

Closes #18530

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE, 1L);

    /* set 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);

    /* maximum number of keep-alive probes: 3 */
