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

Closes #10205

.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
const struct curl_easyoption *curl_easy_option_by_id(CURLoption id);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Given a \fICURLoption\fP \fBid\fP, this function returns a pointer to the
\fIcurl_easyoption\fP struct, holding information about the
\fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP option using that id. The option id is the CURLOPT_
prefix ones provided in the standard curl/curl.h header file. This function
will return the non-aliases version for the cases where there is an alias
function as well.
If libcurl has no option with the given id, this function returns NULL.
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
const struct curl_easyoption *opt = curl_easy_option_by_id(CURLOPT_URL);
if(opt) {
printf("This option wants type %x\\n", opt->type);
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY

.SH RETURN VALUE
A pointer to the \fIcurl_easyoption\fP struct for the option or NULL.
