Fixes #20699
This PR addresses the documentation gap in
manpage.mdby providing a clear, reproducible step-by-step example for generating thecurl.1man page.Changes included:
managenscript for both nroff and plain-text outputs.-dand-Iflags.%optionskeyword, as well as the%VERSION,%DATE, and%GLOBALSvariables.This should significantly lower the barrier for new contributors trying to build the man pages locally.
