DOCS: Fixed meaning of bit 2 in CURLOPT_POSTREDIR
Setting bit 2 for this value was documented as having a constant value
defined as CURL_REDIR_POST_303 yet referenced a 302 request.
Additionally corrected the meaning of CURL_REDIR_POST_ALL for all three
bits and fixed problems with the bolding of keywords in this section.

The non-RFC behaviour is ubiquitous in web browsers, so the library does the conversion by default to maintain consistency.
