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_PROXYUSERPWD - username and password to use for proxy authentication
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, char *userpwd);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a char pointer as parameter, which should be [username]:[password] to use
for the connection to the HTTP proxy. Both the name and the password are URL
decoded before used, so to include for example a colon in the username you
should encode it as %3A. (This is different to how CURLOPT_USERPWD(3) is
used - beware.)
Use CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH(3) to specify the authentication method.
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
option.
# DEFAULT
NULL
# %PROTOCOLS%
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://localhost:8080");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, "clark%20kent:superman");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
~~~
# %AVAILABILITY%
# RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if proxies are supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or
CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
