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.

idn: fix libidn2 with windows unicode builds
Unicode Windows builds use UTF-8 strings internally in libcurl,
so make sure to call the UTF-8 flavour of the libidn2 API. Also
document that Windows builds with libidn2 and UNICODE do expect
CURLOPT_URL as an UTF-8 string.

terminology: call them null-terminated strings
Updated terminology in docs, comments and phrases to refer to C strings
as "null-terminated". Done to unify with how most other C oriented docs
refer of them and what users in general seem to prefer (based on a
single highly unscientific poll on twitter).

imap: change from "FETCH" to "UID FETCH"
... and add "MAILINDEX".

As described in #2789, this is a suggested solution.  Changing UID=xx to
actually get mail with UID xx and add "MAILINDEX" to get a mail with a
special index in the mail box (old behavior).  So MAILINDEX=1 gives the
first non deleted mail in the mail box.

docs/CURLOPT_URL: fix indentation
The statement, “The application does not have to keep the string around
after setting this option,” appears to be indented under the RTMP
paragraph. It actually applies to all protocols, not just RTMP.
Eliminate the extra indentation.

9756d1da76 CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL: added
- Add new option CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL to allow specifying a default
protocol for schemeless URLs.

- Add new tool option --proto-default to expose
CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL.

In the case of schemeless URLs libcurl will behave in this way:

When the option is used libcurl will use the supplied default.

When the option is not used, libcurl will follow its usual plan of
guessing from the hostname and falling back to 'http'.
