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_write_ex - write data to a channel stream blocking
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <libssh2.h>
ssize_t
libssh2_channel_write_ex(LIBSSH2_CHANNEL *channel,
int stream_id, char *buf,
size_t buflen);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Write data to a channel stream. All channel streams have one standard I/O
substream (stream_id == 0), and may have up to 2^32 extended data streams as
identified by the selected *stream_id*. The SSH2 protocol currently
defines a stream ID of 1 to be the stderr substream.
*channel* - active channel stream to write to.
*stream_id* - substream ID number (e.g. 0 or SSH_EXTENDED_DATA_STDERR)
*buf* - pointer to buffer to write
*buflen* - size of the data to write
*libssh2_channel_write(3)* and *libssh2_channel_write_stderr(3)* are
convenience macros for this function.
*libssh2_channel_write_ex(3)* will use as much as possible of the buffer
and put it into a single SSH protocol packet. This means that to get maximum
performance when sending larger files, you should try to always pass in at
least 32K of data to this function.
# RETURN VALUE
Actual number of bytes written or negative on failure.
LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN when it would otherwise block. While
LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN is a negative number, it is not really a failure per se.
# ERRORS
*LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC* - An internal memory allocation call failed.
*LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND* - Unable to send data on socket.
*LIBSSH2_ERROR_CHANNEL_CLOSED* - The channel has been closed.
*LIBSSH2_ERROR_CHANNEL_EOF_SENT* - The channel has been requested to be
*LIBSSH2_ERROR_BAD_USE* - This can be returned if you ignored a previous
return for LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN and rather than sending the original buffer with
the original size, you sent a new buffer with a different size.
closed.
