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

copyright: make repository REUSE compliant
Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.

This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.

docs: consistent manpage SYNOPSIS
Make all libcurl related options use .nf (no fill) for the SYNOPSIS
section - for consistent look. roffit then renders that section using
<pre> (monospace font) in html for the website.

Extended manpage-syntax (test 1173) with a basic check for it.

CURLOPT_NOBODY.3: clarify what setting to 0 means
... and mention that HTTP with other methods than HEAD might get a body and
there's no option available to stop that.

9b167fd090 --request-target: instead of --strip-path-slash
... and CURLOPT_REQUEST_TARGET instead of CURLOPT_STRIP_PATH_SLASH.

This option instead provides the full "alternative" target to use in the
request, instead of extracting the path from the URL.

Test 1298 and 1299 updated accordingly.

b778ae4c5e http: add --strip-path-slash and CURLOPT_STRIP_PATH_SLASH
... to enable sending "OPTIONS *" which wasn't possible previously.

This option currently only works for HTTP.

Added test cases 1298 + 1299 to verify

1d30f40950 CURLOPT_NOBODY.3: clarify this option is for downloads
When enabling CURLOPT_NOBODY, libcurl effectively switches off upload
mode and will do a download (without a body). This is now better
explained in this man page.
