copyright: update all copyright lines and remove year ranges
- they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions
- many big corporations and projects already don't use them
- saves us from pointless churn
- git keeps history for us
- the year range is kept in COPYING

checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements

copyright: make repository REUSE compliant
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.

docs: consistent manpage SYNOPSIS
Make all libcurl related options use .nf (no fill) for the SYNOPSIS
section - for consistent look. roffit then renders that section using
<pre> (monospace font) in html for the website.

Extended manpage-syntax (test 1173) with a basic check for it.

man pages: require all to use the same section header order
This is the same order we already enforce among the options' man pages:
consistency is good. Add lots of previously missing examples.

Adjust the manpage-syntax script for this purpose, used in test 1173.

language: s/behaviour/behavior/g
We currently use both spellings the british "behaviour" and the american
"behavior". However "behavior" is more used in the project so I think
it's worth dropping the british name.

man pages: switch to https://example.com URLs
Since HTTPS is "the new normal", this update changes a lot of man page
examples to use https://example.com instead of the previous "http://..."

Reported by the new script 'scripts/copyright.pl'. The script has a
regex whitelist for the files that don't need copyright headers.

4c35a40858 Bryan Henderson turned the 'initialized' variable for curl_global_init()
into a counter, and thus you can now do multiple curl_global_init() and you
are then supposed to do the same amount of calls to curl_global_cleanup().
Bryan also updated the docs accordingly.

598965a606 clarified that curl_global_init() isn't thread-safe and that it might affect
curl_easy_init() if you don't call curl_global_init() explicitly in your app
