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_SSL_EC_CURVES - key exchange curves
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSL_EC_CURVES, char *list);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a string as parameter with a colon delimited list of Elliptic curve (EC)
algorithms. This option defines the client's key exchange algorithms in the
SSL handshake (if the SSL backend libcurl is built to use supports it).
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 restore back to internal default.
# DEFAULT
"", embedded in SSL backend
# %PROTOCOLS%
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_EC_CURVES, "X25519:P-521");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
~~~
# %AVAILABILITY%
# RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
