Viktor Szakats b889b39945 docs: convert man page sources to "curldown" format
To render in Git webviews as-is, to make it easier to edit, verify,
and to sync up with curl.

- add options to not build the `.3` man pages:
  - autotools: `--disable-docs`
  - cmake: `LIBSSH2_BUILD_DOCS=OFF`
- building `.3` man pages requires Perl after this patch.
- drop `mansyntax` and the shell / `grep` / GNU `man` tool requirements with it.
- scripts and most logic were copied from curl.
- add `cd2nroff` from curl, with edits to relax curl-specific checks.
- used `nroff2cd` (from curl) to convert from `.3` to `.md`. Then
  manually fixed copyrights, inline function references and a couple
  of other things.

# NAME
libssh2_knownhost_writeline - convert a known host to a line for storage
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <libssh2.h>
int
libssh2_knownhost_writeline(LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOSTS *hosts,
struct libssh2_knownhost *known,
char *buffer, size_t buflen,
size_t *outlen,
int type);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Converts a single known host to a single line of output for storage, using
the 'type' output format.
*known* identifies which particular known host
*buffer* points to an allocated buffer
*buflen* is the size of the *buffer*. See RETURN VALUE about the size.
*outlen* must be a pointer to a size_t variable that will get the output
length of the stored data chunk. The number does not included the trailing
zero!
*type* specifies what file type it is, and
*LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_FILE_OPENSSH* is the only currently supported
format.
# RETURN VALUE
Returns a regular libssh2 error code, where negative values are error codes
and 0 indicates success.
If the provided buffer is deemed too small to fit the data libssh2 wants to
store in it, LIBSSH2_ERROR_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL will be returned. The application
is then advised to call the function again with a larger buffer. The
*outlen* size will then hold the requested size.
# AVAILABILITY
Added in libssh2 1.2
