curldown: fixups
- make DEFAULT sections less repetitive

- make historic mentions use HISTORY

- generate the protocols section on `# %PROTOCOLS%` instead of guessing
  where to put it

- generate the availability section on `# %AVAILABILITY%` instead of
  guessing where to put it

- make the protocols section more verbose

# NAME
CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE - TCP keep-alive idle time wait
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE, long delay);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. Sets the *delay*, in seconds, to wait while the connection is
idle before sending keepalive probes. Not all operating systems support this
option.
The maximum value this accepts is 2147483648. Any larger value is capped to
this amount.
# DEFAULT
60
# %PROTOCOLS%
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
/* enable TCP keep-alive for this transfer */
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 */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPCNT, 3L);
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
}
~~~
# %AVAILABILITY%
# RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
