checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements
Closes#10205
Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
By differentiating between ON and AUTO it can make a missing zlib
library a hard error when CURL_ZLIB=ON is used.

Closes#6221Fixes#6173
Reported by the new script 'scripts/copyright.pl'. The script has a
regex whitelist for the files that don't need copyright headers.
Removed three (mostly usesless) README files from docs/
Closes#5141
Remove use of an old hack that takes advantage of the auto-dereference
behavior of the if() command to detect if a variable is defined. The
hack has the form:
if("${VAR} MATCHES "^${VAR}$")
where "${VAR}" is a macro argument reference. Use if(DEFINED) instead.
This also avoids warnings for CMake Policy CMP0054 in CMake 3.1.
Revert commit 2257deb502 (Cmake: Avoid cycle directory dependencies,
2014-08-22) and add a comment explaining the purpose of the original
code.
The check_library_exists_concat macro is intended to be called multiple
times on a sequence of possibly dependent libraries. Later libraries
may depend on earlier libraries when they are static. They cannot be
safely linked in reverse order on some platforms.

Revert commit 1269df2e3b (Cmake: Don't check for all headers each
time, 2014-08-15) and add a comment explaining the purpose of the
original code.
The check_include_file_concat macro is intended to be called multiple
times on a sequence of possibly dependent headers. Later headers
may depend on earlier headers to provide declarations. They cannot
be safely included independently on some platforms.
For example, many POSIX APIs document including sys/types.h before some
other headers. Also on some OS X versions sys/socket.h must be included
before net/if.h or the check for the latter will fail.

Because we prepended libraries to list, CMake had troubles resolving
link directory order as it detected some cycles. Appending to list ensures
that dependencies will preceed dependees.
One header at a time is the right way. Apart from that the output on
windows goes from:
