docs: fix string suggesting HTTP/2 is not the default
Commit 25fd1057c9 made HTTP2 the default, and further down in the
man page that new default is mentioned, but the section at the top
contradicted it until now.

Also remove claim that setting the HTTP version is not sensible.

Closes #4075

.TH CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION \- specify HTTP protocol version to use
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, long version);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass \fIversion\fP a long, set to one of the values described below. They ask
libcurl to use the specific HTTP versions.
Note that the HTTP version is just a request. libcurl will still prioritize to
re-use an existing connection so it might then re-use a connection using a
HTTP version you haven't asked for.
.IP CURL_HTTP_VERSION_NONE
We don't care about what version the library uses. libcurl will use whatever
it thinks fit.
.IP CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_0
Enforce HTTP 1.0 requests.
.IP CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1
Enforce HTTP 1.1 requests.
.IP CURL_HTTP_VERSION_2_0
Attempt HTTP 2 requests. libcurl will fall back to HTTP 1.1 if HTTP 2 can't be
negotiated with the server. (Added in 7.33.0)
The alias \fICURL_HTTP_VERSION_2\fP was added in 7.43.0 to better reflect the
actual protocol name.
.IP CURL_HTTP_VERSION_2TLS
Attempt HTTP 2 over TLS (HTTPS) only. libcurl will fall back to HTTP 1.1 if
HTTP 2 can't be negotiated with the HTTPS server. For clear text HTTP servers,
libcurl will use 1.1. (Added in 7.47.0)
.IP CURL_HTTP_VERSION_2_PRIOR_KNOWLEDGE
Issue non-TLS HTTP requests using HTTP/2 without HTTP/1.1 Upgrade. It requires
prior knowledge that the server supports HTTP/2 straight away. HTTPS requests
will still do HTTP/2 the standard way with negotiated protocol version in the
TLS handshake. (Added in 7.49.0)
.SH DEFAULT
Since curl 7.62.0: CURL_HTTP_VERSION_2TLS
Before that: CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1
.SH PROTOCOLS
HTTP
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode ret;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION, CURL_HTTP_VERSION_2TLS);
ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(ret == CURLE_HTTP_RETURNED_ERROR) {
/* an HTTP response error problem */
}
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
Along with HTTP
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
