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_sign_sk - Create a signature from a FIDO2 authenticator.

libssh2_sign_sk(LIBSSH2_SESSION *session,
unsigned char **sig,
size_t *sig_len,
const unsigned char *data,
size_t data_len,

} LIBSSH2_PRIVKEY_SK;
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
*session* - Session instance as returned by libssh2_session_init_ex(3)
*sig* - A pointer to a buffer in which to place the signature. The caller
is responsible for freeing the signature with LIBSSH2_FREE.
*sig_len* - A pointer to the length of the sig parameter.
*data* - The data to sign.
*data_len* - The length of the data parameter.
*abstract* - A pointer to a pointer to a LIBSSH2_PRIVKEY_SK. See
description below.
Create a signature from a FIDO2 authenticator, using either the
sk-ssh-ed25519@openssh.com or sk-ecdsa-sha2-nistp256@openssh.com key
exchange algorithms.
The abstract parameter is a pointer to a pointer due to the internal workings
of libssh2. The LIBSSH2_PRIVKEY_SK must be completely filled out, and the
caller is responsible for all memory management of its fields.
*algorithm* - The signing algorithm to use. Possible values are
LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_TYPE_ED25519 and LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_TYPE_ECDSA_256.
*flags* - A bitmask specifying options for the authenticator. When
LIBSSH2_SK_PRESENCE_REQUIRED is set, the authenticator requires a touch. When
LIBSSH2_SK_VERIFICATION_REQUIRED is set, the authenticator requires a PIN.
Many servers and authenticators do not work properly when
LIBSSH2_SK_PRESENCE_REQUIRED is not set.
*application* - A user-defined string to use as the RP name for the
authenticator. Usually "ssh:".
*key_handle* - The key handle to use for the authenticator's allow list.
*handle_len* - The length of the key_handle parameter.
*abstract* - User-defined data. When a PIN is required, use this to pass in
the PIN, or a function pointer to retrieve the PIN.
*key_handle* The decoded key handle from the private key file.
*handle_len* The length of the key_handle parameter.
*sign_callback* - Responsible for communicating with the hardware
authenticator to generate a signature. On success, the signature information
must be placed in the *sig_info* sig_info parameter and the callback must
return 0. On failure, it should return a negative number.
See libssh2_userauth_publickey_sk(3) for more information.
*orig_abstract* - User-defined data. When a PIN is required, use this to
pass in the PIN, or a function pointer to retrieve the PIN.
# RETURN VALUE
Return 0 on success or negative on failure.
