The ones with a "couple bends before the drops" are known as "Ergonomic drops" while the older "standard" bars you talk about are just known as drops".

Putting these bars on upside down are known as "bum-bars" in most cycling circles because you see homeless people rocking this style of bars around major metropolitan areas in the US.

Your ideal bars that you describe do not exist as far as I know, but maybe you wanna check out "riser" bars. If you find that you still want the drops, they do make clamp-on drop bar extensions.
