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_channel_flush_ex - flush a channel
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <libssh2.h>
int
libssh2_channel_flush_ex(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel, int streamid);
int
libssh2_channel_flush(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel);
int
libssh2_channel_flush_stderr(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
*channel* - Active channel stream to flush.
*streamid* - Specific substream number to flush. Groups of substreams may
be flushed by passing on of the following Constants.
**LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_FLUSH_EXTENDED_DATA**: Flush all extended data substreams
**LIBSSH2_CHANNEL_FLUSH_ALL**: Flush all substreams
Flush the read buffer for a given channel instance. Individual substreams may
be flushed by number or using one of the provided macros.
# RETURN VALUE
Return the number of bytes flushed or negative on failure.
It returns LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would otherwise block. While
LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a negative number, it is not really a failure per se.
