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_TLS_SESSION - TLS session info
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION,
struct curl_tlssessioninfo **session);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
**This option has been superseded** by CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3).
This option is exactly the same as CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3) except in the case
of OpenSSL and wolfSSL. If the session *backend* is CURLSSLBACKEND_OPENSSL the
session *internals* pointer varies depending on the option:
## OpenSSL:
CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION(3) OpenSSL session *internals* is **SSL_CTX ***.
CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3) OpenSSL session *internals* is **SSL ***.
You can obtain an **SSL_CTX** pointer from an SSL pointer using OpenSSL
function *SSL_get_SSL_CTX(3)*. Therefore unless you need compatibility
with older versions of libcurl use CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3). Refer to
that document for more information.
## wolfSSL
CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION(3) wolfSSL session *internals* is **WOLFSSL_CTX ***.
CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3) wolfSSL session *internals* is **WOLFSSL ***.
You can obtain an **WOLFSSL_CTX** pointer from an SSL pointer using wolfSSL
function *wolfSSL_get_SSL_CTX(3)*. Therefore unless you need compatibility
with older versions of libcurl use CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR(3). Refer to
that document for more information.
# %PROTOCOLS%
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
struct curl_tlssessioninfo *tls;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(res)
printf("error: %s\n", curl_easy_strerror(res));
curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION, &tls);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
~~~
# DEPRECATED
Deprecated since 7.48.0
# %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).
