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_agent_sign - sign data, with the help of ssh-agent
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <libssh2.h>
int
libssh2_agent_sign(LIBSSH2_AGENT *agent,
struct libssh2_agent_publickey *identity,
unsigned char **sig,
size_t *s_len,
const unsigned char *data,
size_t d_len,
const char *method,
unsigned int method_len);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
*agent* - ssh-agent handle as returned by libssh2_agent_init(3).
*identity* - Public key to authenticate with, as returned by
libssh2_agent_get_identity(3)
*sig* - A pointer to a buffer in which to place the signature. The caller
is responsible for freeing the signature with LIBSSH2_FREE.
*s_len* - A pointer to the length of the sig parameter.
*data* - The data to sign.
*d_len* - The length of the data parameter.
*method* - A buffer indicating the signing method. This should match the
string at the start of identity-\>blob.
*method_len* - The length of the method parameter.
Sign data using an ssh-agent. This function can be used in a callback
registered with libssh2_session_callback_set2(3) using
LIBSSH2_CALLBACK_AUTHAGENT_SIGN to sign an authentication challenge from a
server. However, the client is responsible for implementing the code that calls
this callback in response to a SSH2_AGENTC_SIGN_REQUEST message.
# RETURN VALUE
Returns 0 if succeeded, or a negative value for error.
# AVAILABILITY
Added in libssh2 1.11.0
