DOCS: Fixed meaning of bit 2 in CURLOPT_POSTREDIR

Browse Source 
Setting bit 2 for this value was documented as having a constant value
defined as CURL_REDIR_POST_303 yet referenced a 302 request.

Additionally corrected the meaning of CURL_REDIR_POST_ALL for all three
bits and fixed problems with the bolding of keywords in this section.

@ -1205,17 +1205,17 @@ Pass a bitmask to control how libcurl acts on redirects after POSTs that get a
301, 302 or 303 response back. A parameter with bit 0 set (value
\fBCURL_REDIR_POST_301\fP) tells the library to respect RFC2616/10.3.2 and not
convert POST requests into GET requests when following a 301 redirection.
Setting bit 1 (value CURL_REDIR_POST_302) makes libcurl maintain the request
method after a 302 redirect. Setting bit 2 (value \fBCURL_REDIR_POST_303)
makes libcurl maintain the request method after a 302 redirect.
CURL_REDIR_POST_ALL is a convenience define that sets both bits.
Setting bit 1 (value \fBCURL_REDIR_POST_302\fP) makes libcurl maintain the
request method after a 302 redirect whilst setting bit 2 (value
\fBCURL_REDIR_POST_303\fP) makes libcurl maintain the request method after a
303 redirect. The value \fBCURL_REDIR_POST_ALL\fP is a convenience define that
sets all three bits.
The non-RFC behaviour is ubiquitous in web browsers, so the library does the
conversion by default to maintain consistency. However, a server may require a
POST to remain a POST after such a redirection. This option is meaningful only
when setting \fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION\fP. (Added in 7.17.1) (This option was
known as CURLOPT_POST301 up to 7.19.0 as it only supported the 301 way before
then)

.IP CURLOPT_PUT
A parameter set to 1 tells the library to use HTTP PUT to transfer data. The
data should be set with \fICURLOPT_READDATA\fP and \fICURLOPT_INFILESIZE\fP.
