Cleanup/simplify copyright info

Historically we have been (more-or-less consistently, sometimes forgetting
some files) updating the end year of the copyright statements at the
beginning of a new year.

We're naturally not alone in that.  Recently this was discussed in curl, and
it turns out that copyright years are not really required:

So drop the years and simplify the copyright statements.  While we're at it,
also ensure the same syntax (capital C, email address) is used everywhere.
