CURLOPT_*-docs: provide additional details
Went through CURLOPTTYPE_STRINGPOINT and CURLOPTTYPE_SLISTPOINT options
and clarified:

- what happens when setting the option *again*

- setting to NULL disables/restores to default

- libcurl does not copy the slist for options using a such

# NAME
CURLOPT_RTSP_SESSION_ID - RTSP session ID
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_RTSP_SESSION_ID, char *id);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a char pointer as a parameter to set the value of the current RTSP
Session ID for the handle. Useful for resuming an in-progress session. Once
this value is set to any non-NULL value, libcurl returns
*CURLE_RTSP_SESSION_ERROR* if ID received from the server does not match. If
unset (or set to NULL), libcurl automatically sets the ID the first time the
server sets it in a response.
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
option.
Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override the
previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.
# DEFAULT
NULL
# %PROTOCOLS%
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
char *prev_id; /* saved from before somehow */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "rtsp://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_RTSP_SESSION_ID, prev_id);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
~~~
# %AVAILABILITY%
# RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or
CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
