Siddhesh Poyarekar 30891f35fa Remove "Contributed by" lines
We stopped adding "Contributed by" or similar lines in sources in 2012
in favour of git logs and keeping the Contributors section of the
glibc manual up to date.  Removing these lines makes the license
header a bit more consistent across files and also removes the
possibility of error in attribution when license blocks or files are
copied across since the contributed-by lines don't actually reflect
reality in those cases.

Move all "Contributed by" and similar lines (Written by, Test by,
etc.) into a new file CONTRIBUTED-BY to retain record of these
contributions.  These contributors are also mentioned in
manual/contrib.texi, so we just maintain this additional record as a
courtesy to the earlier developers.

The following scripts were used to filter a list of files to edit in
place and to clean up the CONTRIBUTED-BY file respectively.  These
were not added to the glibc sources because they're not expected to be
of any use in future given that this is a one time task:

/* This is a gross hack to get broken programs running.
ISO C provides no mean to find out how many bytes the wide
character representation really uses. But it defines MB_CUR_LEN to
return the information for the multi-byte character representation.
Many programmers don't know the difference between the two and
think this means the same. But assuming all characters have a size
of MB_CUR_LEN after they have been processed by `mbrtowc' is wrong.
Instead the maximum number of characters used for the conversion is
MB_CUR_LEN.
It is known that some Motif applications have this problem. To
cure this one has to make sure the glibc uses the function in this
file instead of the one in locale/mb_cur_max.c. This can either be
done by linking with this file or by using the LD_PRELOAD feature
of the dynamic linker. */
