CURLINFO: remove 'get' and 'get the' from each short desc
The short descriptions describe the data each info retrieves. The info
itself does not 'get' the data.

This simplifies and shortens the descriptions and make them more
consistent.

# NAME
CURLINFO_CAINFO - default built-in CA certificate path
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CAINFO, char **path);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a char pointer to receive the pointer to a null-terminated
string holding the default built-in path used for the CURLOPT_CAINFO(3)
option unless set by the user.
Note that in a situation where libcurl has been built to support multiple TLS
libraries, this option might return a string even if the specific TLS library
currently set to be used does not support CURLOPT_CAINFO(3).
This is a path identifying a single file containing CA certificates.
The **path** pointer is set to NULL if there is no default path.
# %PROTOCOLS%
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
char *cainfo = NULL;
curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CAINFO, &cainfo);
if(cainfo) {
printf("default ca info path: %s\n", cainfo);
}
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
~~~
# %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).
