The built-in manual for curl -M

Hey

curl has always had its man page built in and visible with the curl -M option.
This was originally motivated by the platforms that lack a decent man page
system.

In addition to the man page, it also concatenates the 'docs/MANUAL' file at
the end. My guess is that this is completely useless and that hardly anyone
ever read that far down the -M output.

My plan is to remove the MANUAL from the -M output. The text is gzipped in
most installs so it would only mean removing about 10K of data.

curl -M right now outputs 3723 lines. Without the MANUAL it goes down to 2681
lines. A 1042 lines delta.

Objections?
