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

Warning: this is considered an insecure option. Consider using --ssl-reqd
instead to be sure curl upgrades to a secure connection.
Try to use SSL/TLS for the connection. Reverts to a non-secure connection if
the server does not support SSL/TLS. See also --ftp-ssl-control and --ssl-reqd
for different levels of encryption required.
This option is handled in LDAP since version 7.81.0. It is fully supported
by the OpenLDAP backend and ignored by the generic ldap backend.
Please note that a server may close the connection if the negotiation does
not succeed.
This option was formerly known as --ftp-ssl (Added in 7.11.0). That option
name can still be used but will be removed in a future version.
