Kamil Dudka ab2a7079cd zsh.pl: produce a working completion script again
Commit curl-7_54_0-118-g8b2f22e changed the output format of curl --help
to use <file> and <dir> instead of FILE and DIR, which caused zsh.pl to
produce a broken completion script:

% curl --<TAB>
_curl:10: no such file or directory: seconds

Closes #1779

Help: CA certificate to verify peer against
Protocols: TLS
---
Tells curl to use the specified certificate file to verify the peer. The file
may contain multiple CA certificates. The certificate(s) must be in PEM
format. Normally curl is built to use a default file for this, so this option
is typically used to alter that default file.
curl recognizes the environment variable named 'CURL_CA_BUNDLE' if it is
set, and uses the given path as a path to a CA cert bundle. This option
overrides that variable.
The windows version of curl will automatically look for a CA certs file named
\'curl-ca-bundle.crt\', either in the same directory as curl.exe, or in the
Current Working Directory, or in any folder along your PATH.
If curl is built against the NSS SSL library, the NSS PEM PKCS#11 module
(libnsspem.so) needs to be available for this option to work properly.
(iOS and macOS only) If curl is built against Secure Transport, then this
option is supported for backward compatibility with other SSL engines, but it
should not be set. If the option is not set, then curl will use the
certificates in the system and user Keychain to verify the peer, which is the
preferred method of verifying the peer's certificate chain.
If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
