Wrong documentation for CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD_T

Hi All,

Looks like the documentation for CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD_T
<https://curl.se/libcurl/c/CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD_T.html>is not
correct as it indicates that this is only supporting http protocol.

I ran a test for scp protocol and it works fine. Also the previous version
of it (CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD
<https://curl.se/libcurl/c/CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD.html>)
supports all protocols. Hence, I think the man page is wrongly stating
that CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD_T is supported for HTTP only.

Please let me know if I'm missing something.

Regards,
Negar
