Change the format of error messages sent to stderr from tests and test
servers. As a workaround to avoid triggering Visual Studio's MSBuild
tool's built-in regexp matcher, and making it mark builds failed for
reasons we don't want them to hard fail.
Roughly, the pattern to avoid is the word "error" (case-insensitive)
in the same line with a colon `:`.
It affected GHA/windows MSVC CI jobs, causing flakiness:
```
CUSTOMBUILD : fopen() failed with error : 13 Permission denied [D:\a\curl\curl\bld\tests\test-ci.vcxproj]
Error opening file: log/4/smtp_sockfilt.log
[...]
CUSTOMBUILD : fopen() failed with error : 13 Permission denied [D:\a\curl\curl\bld\tests\test-ci.vcxproj]
Error opening file: log/8/imap_sockfilt.log
Msg not logged: 00:18:10.656000 > 178 bytes data, server => client
[...]
TESTDONE: 1629 tests out of 1634 reported OK: 99%

The `IgnoreStandardErrorWarningFormat="true"` MSBuild Exec option
controls this behavior:

I couldn't figure out a way to apply it to CMake builds.

Note: There may be further error messages output from runtests scripts,
that use this format, which are not explicitly fatal. They may need
future fixes.

Before this patch, the result code was a mixture of `int` and
`CURLcode`.
Also adjust casts and fix a couple of minor issues found along the way.
Cherry-picked from #13489Closes#13600
- 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
Closes#10205
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.
Closes#8869
