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
- Use RtlVerifyVersionInfo instead of VerifyVersionInfo, when possible.
Later versions of Windows have normal version functions that compare and
return versions based on the way the application is manifested, instead
of the actual version of Windows the application is running on. We
prefer the actual version of Windows so we'll now call the Rtl variant
of version functions (RtlVerifyVersionInfo) which does a proper
comparison of the actual version.
