doc: remove problematic auto-linking of curl man pages

The only instance of curl man page linking is in repl.md and it is explicit. The magic autolinking in html.js creates a superfluous empty link. Remove it. Before, two adjacent links generated, with the first one having no text: ```html <a href="https://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html"></a> <a href="https://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html"><code>curl(1)</code></a> ``` After, just one link: ```html <a href="https://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html"><code>curl(1)</code></a> ``` PR-URL: nodejs#35174 Reviewed-By: Anna Henningsen <[email protected]> Reviewed-By: Ben Coe <[email protected]> Reviewed-By: Luigi Pinca <[email protected]>
