Copyright update tedium

[Magnus Ihse Bursie]

I felt responsibility for the .github files, and wanted to check if 
there were more build system files needed updating. So I ran a more 
comprehensive script, and discovered a *lot* more files that needed 
updating. Like a thousand or so...

I have opened a series of issues starting at 
https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8345793 and going up to 
https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8345805 to update these headers.

I agree, this should be automated. We're starting to slowly get there, 
see https://github.com/openjdk/skara/pull/1702 for a first step.
