man pages: simplify the .TH sections
- remove the version numbers
- simplify the texts

The date and version number will be put there for releases when maketgz
runs the updatemanpages.pl script.

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.

opts docs: unify phrasing in NAME header
- avoid writing "set ..." or "enable/disable ..." or "specify ..."
  *All* options for curl_easy_setopt() are about setting or enabling
  things and most of the existing options didn't use that way of
  description.

- start with lowercase letter, unless abbreviation. For consistency.

- Some additional touch-ups

terminology: call them null-terminated strings
Updated terminology in docs, comments and phrases to refer to C strings
as "null-terminated". Done to unify with how most other C oriented docs
refer of them and what users in general seem to prefer (based on a
single highly unscientific poll on twitter).
