docs: add CURLOPT type change history, drop casts where present
Some CURLOPT constants defined in the curl public headers were initially
enums (= ints), or macros with bare numeric values. Recent curl releases
upgraded them to `long` constants, to make them pass correctly to
`curl_easy_setop()` by default, i.e. without requiring a `(long)` cast.

This patch drops such casts from the examples embedded in the docs. At
the same time it documents which curl release made them `long` types,
to keep them useful when working with previous libcurl versions.

Also:
- drop a `(long)` cast that was never necessary.
- CURLOPT_ALTSVC_CTRL.md: bump local copy of macros to long.
- test1119: make it ignore symbols ending with an underscore, to skip
  wildcard, e.g. `**CURLAUTH_***`.

Closes #18130

# NAME
CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET - get info on unmet time conditional or 304 HTTP response.
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET,
long *unmet);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the number 1 if the condition provided in
the previous request did not match (see CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION(3)). Alas,
if this returns a 1 you know that the reason you did not get data in return is
because it did not fulfill the condition. The long this argument points to
gets a zero stored if the condition instead was met. This can also return 1 if
the server responded with a 304 HTTP status code, for example after sending a
custom "If-Match-*" header.
# %PROTOCOLS%
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
/* January 1, 2020 is 1577833200 */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE, 1577833200L);
/* If-Modified-Since the above time stamp */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION, CURL_TIMECOND_IFMODSINCE);
/* Perform the request */
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(!res) {
/* check the time condition */
long unmet;
res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET, &unmet);
if(!res) {
printf("The time condition was %sfulfilled\n", unmet?"NOT":"");
}
}
}
}

# %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).
