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
CURLOPT_TCP_FASTOPEN - TCP Fast Open
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_TCP_FASTOPEN, long enable);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a long as parameter set to 1L to enable or 0 to disable.
TCP Fast Open (RFC 7413) is a mechanism that allows data to be carried in the
SYN and SYN-ACK packets and consumed by the receiving end during the initial
connection handshake, saving up to one full round-trip time (RTT).
Beware: the TLS session cache does not work when TCP Fast Open is enabled. TCP
Fast Open is also known to be problematic on or across certain networks.
# DEFAULT
0
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TCP_FASTOPEN, 1L);
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
}
~~~
# AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.49.0. This option is currently only supported on Linux and macOS
10.11 or later.
# RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if fast open is supported by the operating system, otherwise
returns CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN.
