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_posix_rename_ex - rename an SFTP file using POSIX semantics

SYNOPSIS

#include <libssh2.h>
#include <libssh2_sftp.h>

int
libssh2_sftp_posix_rename_ex(LIBSSH2_SFTP *sftp,
                             const char *source_filename,
                             size_t source_filename_len,
                             const char *dest_filename,
                             size_t dest_filename_len);

DESCRIPTION

sftp - SFTP instance as returned by libssh2_sftp_init(3)

sourcefile - Path and name of the existing filesystem entry

sourcefile_len - Length of the path and name of the existing filesystem entry

destfile - Path and name of the target filesystem entry

destfile_len - Length of the path and name of the target filesystem entry

This function implements the posix-rename@openssh.com extension, which is useful when, for example, moving files across filesystems on a remote server. SSH_FXP_RENAME does not specify a specific implementation, but many servers will attempt to user hard links when moving files using SSH_FXP_RENAME.

If the server does not support posix-rename@openssh.com, this function will return LIBSSH2_FX_OP_UNSUPPORTED and you can call libssh2_sftp_rename_ex (3) as a backup.

RETURN VALUE

Return 0 on success 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.

ERRORS

LIBSSH2_FX_OP_UNSUPPORTED - Server does not support posix-rename@openssh.com

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.
