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

Use the specified SOCKS4 proxy. If the port number is not specified, it is
assumed at port 1080. Using this socket type make curl resolve the host name
and passing the address on to the proxy.
To specify proxy on a unix domain socket, use localhost for host, e.g.
socks4://localhost/path/to/socket.sock
This option overrides any previous use of --proxy, as they are mutually
exclusive.
This option is superfluous since you can specify a socks4 proxy with --proxy
using a socks4:// protocol prefix. (Added in 7.21.7)
Since 7.52.0, --preproxy can be used to specify a SOCKS proxy at the same time
--proxy is used with an HTTP/HTTPS proxy. In such a case curl first connects to
the SOCKS proxy and then connects (through SOCKS) to the HTTP or HTTPS proxy.
