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
This partially reverts commit c712009838.
Keep the ares_ files removed but bring back the older way to run find,
to make it work with busybox's find, as apparently that's being used.

Fixes#5483Closes#5484
The missing file has not been autogenerated because a temporary fix was
employed in acinclude.m4 which blocked update. Removed that fix and a recent
version of missing is copied to build root.
That option is not mentioned in the man page of libtoolize 2.4.4.19-fda4.
Moveover, a comment in line 2623 says "--automake is for 1.5 compatibility".
This option is redundant now.

NOTICE: The list of 2 files that have been modified by other
intermixed commits, while renamed, and also by at least one
of the 6 commits this one reverts follows below. These 2 files
will exhibit a hole in history unless git's '--follow' option
is used when viewing logs.
lib/curl_imap.h
lib/curl_smtp.h
Configuration files such as curl_config.h and all config-*.h no longer exist
nor are generated/copied into 'src' directory, now these only exist in 'lib'
directory from where curl tool sources uses them.
Additionally old src/setup.h has been refactored into src/tool_setup.h which
now pulls lib/setup.h
The possibility of a makefile needing an include path adjustment exists.
Using libtool 1.5.x (x < 26) with autoconf 2.6x or later generates warnings
due to some libtool variables not following naming convention for variables
that will be cached.
This is addressed renaming a couple of variables to make these follow expected
naming convention.
Kalle Vahlman's patch applied a while ago broke how the findtool
function searches for tools, as it would always check if "$file"
was present first, which thus made the bad assumption that a file
in the current directory would be a match.
I noticed when it found 'libtool' in the current directory but
libtoolize is not there, which confused the script.
installed in the subdirectory at different stages. With some versions it is
installed when libtoolize finishes, but with others it is not installed
until automake has finished.
So we can not attempt to use config.guess until the very last buildconf stage.
