…enSSL curl passes down the capath directly to the backends. OpenSSL will then delimiter-separate this path internally to support multiple directories (using its certificate hash scheme). However, the other backends (wolfSSL, mbedTLS, gnutls) only expect a single directory (and do not use the hash scheme, preferring to iterate the directory and load all files). This adjusts the `--capath` documentation to reflect that multiple paths is an OpenSSL-specific feature. Alternatively, curl could delimiter-separate these itself, but I'm not sure it's worth it.
