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. However, a server may require a
POST to remain a POST after such a redirection. This option is meaningful only
when setting \fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION\fP. (Added in 7.17.1) (This option was

.IP CURLOPT_PUT
A parameter set to 1 tells the library to use HTTP PUT to transfer data. The
data should be set with \fICURLOPT_READDATA\fP and \fICURLOPT_INFILESIZE\fP.
