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_XFER_ID - ID of the transfer
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_XFER_ID,
curl_off_t *xfer_id);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a *curl_off_t* to receive the identifier of the
current/last transfer done with the handle. Stores -1 if no transfer
has been started yet for the handle.
The transfer id is unique among all transfers performed using the same
connection cache. This is implicitly the case for all transfers in the
same multi handle.
# %PROTOCOLS%
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
/* Perform the request */
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(!res) {
curl_off_t xfer_id;
res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_XFER_ID, &xfer_id);
if(!res) {
printf("Transfer ID: %" CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T "\n", xfer_id);
}
}
}
}
~~~
# %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).
