docs/libcurl: generate PROTOCOLS from meta-data
Remove the PROTOCOLS section from the source files completely and
instead generate them based on the header data in the curldown files.

It also generates TLS backend information for options marked for TLS as
protocol.

# NAME
CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET - get info on unmet time conditional or 304 HTTP response.
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET,
long *unmet);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a long to receive the number 1 if the condition provided in
the previous request did not match (see CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION(3)). Alas,
if this returns a 1 you know that the reason you did not get data in return is
because it did not fulfill the condition. The long this argument points to
gets a zero stored if the condition instead was met. This can also return 1 if
the server responded with a 304 HTTP status code, for example after sending a
custom "If-Match-*" header.
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
/* January 1, 2020 is 1577833200 */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE, 1577833200L);
/* If-Modified-Since the above time stamp */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION,
(long)CURL_TIMECOND_IFMODSINCE);
/* Perform the request */
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(!res) {
/* check the time condition */
long unmet;
res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET, &unmet);
if(!res) {
printf("The time condition was %sfulfilled\n", unmet?"NOT":"");
}
}
}
}
