Copyright update tedium

[Thomas Stüfe]

Hi Archie,

Note that we have a script for that; see
make/scripts/update_copyright_year.sh . I use it a lot. Sonia recently
enhanced it. It even has an option to update copyrights for foreign
companies.

Calling it from the source root usually works well, it only still struggles
with large merge commits (e.g. in long-running reviews).

Cheers, Thomas
