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_stat_ex - get status about an SFTP file
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <libssh2.h>
#include <libssh2_sftp.h>
int
libssh2_sftp_stat_ex(LIBSSH2_SFTP *sftp, const char *path,
unsigned int path_len, int stat_type,
LIBSSH2_SFTP_ATTRIBUTES *attrs);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
*sftp* - SFTP instance as returned by libssh2_sftp_init(3)
*path* - Remote filesystem object to stat/lstat/setstat.
*path_len* - Length of the name of the remote filesystem object
to stat/lstat/setstat.
*stat_type* - One of the three constants specifying the type of
stat operation to perform:
**LIBSSH2_SFTP_STAT**: performs stat(2) operation
**LIBSSH2_SFTP_LSTAT**: performs lstat(2) operation
**LIBSSH2_SFTP_SETSTAT**: performs operation to set stat info on file
*attrs* - Pointer to a **LIBSSH2_SFTP_ATTRIBUTES** structure to set file
metadata from or into depending on the value of stat_type.
Get or Set statbuf type data on a remote filesystem object. When getting
statbuf data, libssh2_sftp_stat(3)
will follow all symlinks, while libssh2_sftp_lstat(3)
will return data about the object encountered, even if that object
happens to be a symlink.
The LIBSSH2_SFTP_ATTRIBUTES struct looks like this:
~~~c
struct LIBSSH2_SFTP_ATTRIBUTES {
/* If flags & ATTR_* bit is set, then the value in this struct will be
* meaningful Otherwise it should be ignored
*/
unsigned long flags;
libssh2_uint64_t filesize;
unsigned long uid;
unsigned long gid;
unsigned long permissions;
unsigned long atime;
unsigned long mtime;
};
~~~
# RETURN VALUE
Returns 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_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.
