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

This option tells curl to not work around a security flaw in the SSL3 and
TLS1.0 protocols known as BEAST. If this option is not used, the SSL layer
may use workarounds known to cause interoperability problems with some older
SSL implementations.
**WARNING**: this option loosens the SSL security, and by using this flag you
ask for exactly that.
