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_sftp_open_ex - open filehandle for file on SFTP.
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <libssh2.h>
#include <libssh2_sftp.h>
LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE *
libssh2_sftp_open_ex(LIBSSH2_SFTP *sftp, const char *filename,
unsigned int filename_len,
unsigned long flags,
long mode,
int open_type);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
*sftp* - SFTP instance as returned by *libssh2_sftp_init(3)*
*filename* - Remote file/directory resource to open
*filename_len* - Length of filename
*flags* - Any reasonable combination of the LIBSSH2_FXF_* constants:
## LIBSSH2_FXF_READ
Open the file for reading.
## LIBSSH2_FXF_WRITE
Open the file for writing. If both this and LIBSSH2_FXF_READ are specified,
the file is opened for both reading and writing.
## LIBSSH2_FXF_APPEND
Force all writes to append data at the end of the file.
## LIBSSH2_FXF_CREAT,
If this flag is specified, then a new file will be created if one does not
already exist (if LIBSSH2_FXF_TRUNC is specified, the new file will be
truncated to zero length if it previously exists)
## LIBSSH2_FXF_TRUNC
Forces an existing file with the same name to be truncated to zero length when
creating a file by specifying LIBSSH2_FXF_CREAT. LIBSSH2_FXF_CREAT MUST also
be specified if this flag is used.
## LIBSSH2_FXF_EXCL
Causes the request to fail if the named file already exists.
LIBSSH2_FXF_CREAT MUST also be specified if this flag is used.
*mode* - POSIX file permissions to assign if the file is being newly
created. See the LIBSSH2_SFTP_S_\* convenience defines in \<libssh2_sftp.h\>
*open_type* - Either of LIBSSH2_SFTP_OPENFILE (to open a file) or
LIBSSH2_SFTP_OPENDIR (to open a directory).
# RETURN VALUE
A pointer to the newly created LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE instance or NULL on
failure.
# ERRORS
*LIBSSH2_ERROR_ALLOC* - An internal memory allocation call failed.
*LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_SEND* - Unable to send data on socket.
*LIBSSH2_ERROR_SOCKET_TIMEOUT* -
*LIBSSH2_ERROR_SFTP_PROTOCOL* - An invalid SFTP protocol response was
received on the socket, or an SFTP operation caused an errorcode to be
returned by the server.
*LIBSSH2_ERROR_EAGAIN* - Marked for non-blocking I/O but the call would
block.
