libcurl-env-dbg.3: move debug variables from libcurl-env.3
- Move documentation of libcurl environment variables used only in debug builds from libcurl-env into a separate document libcurl-env-dbg. - Document more debug environment variables. Previously undocumented or missing a description: CURL_ALTSVC_HTTP, CURL_DBG_SOCK_WBLOCK, CURL_DBG_SOCK_WPARTIAL, CURL_DBG_QUIC_WBLOCK, CURL_DEBUG, CURL_DEBUG_SIZE, CURL_GETHOSTNAME, CURL_HSTS_HTTP, CURL_FORCETIME, CURL_SMALLREQSEND, CURL_SMALLSENDS, CURL_TIME. Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/11811

+.SH NAME
+libcurl-env-dbg \- environment variables libcurl DEBUGBUILD understands
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This is a set of variables only recognized and used if libcurl was built
+"debug enabled", which should never be true for a library used in production.
+These variables are intended for internal use only, subject to change and have
+many effects on the behavior of libcurl. Refer to the source code to determine
+how exactly they are being used.
+.RS
+.IP "CURL_ALTSVC_HTTP"
+Bypass the AltSvc HTTPS protocol restriction if this variable exists.
+.IP "CURL_DBG_SOCK_RBLOCK"
+The percentage of recv() calls that should be answered with a EAGAIN at random.
+For TCP/UNIX sockets.
+.IP "CURL_DBG_SOCK_RMAX"
+The maximum data that shall be received from the network in one recv() call.
+For TCP/UNIX sockets. This is applied to every recv.
+
+Example: \fBCURL_DBG_SOCK_RMAX=400\fP means recv buffer size is limited to a
+maximum of 400 bytes.
+.IP "CURL_DBG_SOCK_WBLOCK"
+The percentage of send() calls that should be answered with a EAGAIN at random.
+For TCP/UNIX sockets.
+.IP "CURL_DBG_SOCK_WPARTIAL"
+The percentage of data that shall be written to the network. For TCP/UNIX
+sockets. This is applied to every send.
+
+Example: \fBCURL_DBG_SOCK_WPARTIAL=80\fP means a send with 1000 bytes would
+only send 800.
+.IP "CURL_DBG_QUIC_WBLOCK"
+The percentage of send() calls that should be answered with EAGAIN at random.
+QUIC only.
+.IP "CURL_DEBUG"
+Trace logging behavior as an alternative to calling \fIcurl_global_trace(3)\fP.
+
+Example: \fBCURL_DEBUG=http/2\fP means trace details about HTTP/2 handling.
+.IP "CURL_DEBUG_SIZE"
+Fake the size returned by CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE and CURLINFO_REQUEST_SIZE.
+.IP "CURL_GETHOSTNAME"
+Fake the local machine's unqualified hostname for NTLM and SMTP.
+.IP "CURL_HSTS_HTTP"
+Bypass the HSTS HTTPS protocol restriction if this variable exists.
+.IP "CURL_FORCETIME"
+A time of 0 is used for AWS signatures and NTLM if this variable exists.
+.IP "CURL_ENTROPY"
+A fixed faked value to use instead of a proper random number so that functions
+in libcurl that are otherwise getting random outputs can be tested for what
+they generate.
+.IP "CURL_SMALLREQSEND"
+An alternative size of HTTP data to be sent at a time only if smaller than the
+current.
+.IP "CURL_SMALLSENDS"
+An alternative size of socket data to be sent at a time only if smaller than
+the current.
+.IP "CURL_TIME"
+Fake unix timestamp to use for AltSvc, HSTS and CURLINFO variables that are
+time related.
+
+This variable can also be used to fake the data returned by some CURLINFO
+variables that are not time-related (such as CURLINFO_LOCAL_PORT), and in that
+case the value is not a timestamp.
+.IP "CURL_TRACE"
+LDAP tracing is enabled if this variable exists and its value is 1 or greater.
+
+OpenLDAP tracing is separate. Refer to CURL_OPENLDAP_TRACE.
+.IP "CURL_NTLM_WB_FILE"
+Debug-version of the \fIntlm-wb\fP executable.
+.IP "CURL_OPENLDAP_TRACE"
+OpenLDAP tracing is enabled if this variable exists and its value is 1 or
+greater. There's a number of debug levels, refer to \fIopenldap.c\fP comments.
