Sh Diao reported that CURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICY doesn't work, and indeed, there is
no code present in the library that receives the option. Since it was not
possible to use, we know that no current users exist and thus we simply
removed it from the docs and made the code always use the default path of
the code.
