Previously it rendered the page from files matching "*.d" in the correct
directory, which worked fine in git builds when the files were added but
made it easy to forget adding the files to the dist.
Now, only man page sections listed in DPAGES in Makefile.inc will be
used, thus "forcing" us to update this to get the man page right and get
it included in the dist at the same time.

Reported by the new script 'scripts/copyright.pl'. The script has a
regex whitelist for the files that don't need copyright headers.
Removed three (mostly usesless) README files from docs/
Closes#5141
- Implement new option CURLSSLOPT_REVOKE_BEST_EFFORT and
--ssl-revoke-best-effort to allow a "best effort" revocation check.
A best effort revocation check ignores errors that the revocation check
was unable to take place. The reasoning is described in detail below and
discussed further in the PR.
---
When running e.g. with Fiddler, the schannel backend fails with an
unhelpful error message:
Unknown error (0x80092012) - The revocation function was unable
to check revocation for the certificate.
Sadly, many enterprise users who are stuck behind MITM proxies suffer
the very same problem.
This has been discussed in plenty of issues:
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/3727,
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/264, for example.
In the latter, a Microsoft Edge developer even made the case that the
common behavior is to ignore issues when a certificate has no recorded
distribution point for revocation lists, or when the server is offline.
This is also known as "best effort" strategy and addresses the Fiddler
issue.
Unfortunately, this strategy was not chosen as the default for schannel
(and is therefore a backend-specific behavior: OpenSSL seems to happily
ignore the offline servers and missing distribution points).
To maintain backward-compatibility, we therefore add a new flag
(`CURLSSLOPT_REVOKE_BEST_EFFORT`) and a new option
(`--ssl-revoke-best-effort`) to select the new behavior.
Due to the many related issues Git for Windows and GitHub Desktop, the
plan is to make this behavior the default in these software packages.
The test 2070 was added to verify this behavior, adapted from 310.

This commit adds support to generate JSON via the writeout feature:
-w "%{json}"
It leverages the existing infrastructure as much as possible. Thus,
generating the JSON on STDERR is possible by:
-w "%{stderr}%{json}"
This implements a variant of
https://github.com/curl/curl/wiki/JSON#--write-out-json.
Closes#4870
Starting with this change when doing parallel transfers, without this
option set, curl will prefer to create new transfers multiplexed on an
existing connection rather than creating a brand new one.
--parallel-immediate can be set to tell curl to prefer to use new
connections rather than to wait and try to multiplex.
libcurl-wise, this means that curl will set CURLOPT_PIPEWAIT by default
on parallel transfers.
