They now generally conform to the following argument sequence:
script.pl "$(PERLASM_SCHEME)" [ C preprocessor arguments ... ] \
$(PROCESSOR) <output file>
However, in the spirit of being able to use these scripts manually,
they also allow for no argument, or for only the flavour, or for only
the output file. This is done by only using the last argument as
output file if it's a file (it has an extension), and only using the
first argument as flavour if it isn't a file (it doesn't have an
extension).
While we're at it, we make all $xlate calls the same, i.e. the $output
argument is always quoted, and we always die on error when trying to
start $xlate.
There's a perl lesson in this, regarding operator priority...
This will always succeed, even when it fails:
open FOO, "something" || die "ERR: $!";
The reason is that '||' has higher priority than list operators (a
function is essentially a list operator and gobbles up everything
following it that isn't lower priority), and since a non-empty string
is always true, so that ends up being exactly the same as:
open FOO, "something";
This, however, will fail if "something" can't be opened:
open FOO, "something" or die "ERR: $!";
The reason is that 'or' has lower priority that list operators,
i.e. it's performed after the 'open' call.

The assembler already knows the actual path to the generated file and,
in other perlasm architectures, is left to manage debug symbols itself.
Notably, in OpenSSL 1.1.x's new build system, which allows a separate
build directory, converting .pl to .s as the scripts currently do result
in the wrong paths.
This also avoids inconsistencies from some of the files using $0 and
some passing in the filename.

Add copyright to most .pl files
This does NOT cover any .pl file that has other copyright in it.
Most of those are Andy's but some are public domain.
Fix typo's in some existing files.

This gets rid of the BEGINRAW..ENDRAW sections in crypto/build.info.
This also moves the assembler generating perl scripts to take the
output file name as last command line argument, where necessary.
