Paul Eggert 581c785bf3 Update copyright dates with scripts/update-copyrights
I used these shell commands:

../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")

and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.

I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah.  I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

remote: *** 912-#endif
remote: *** 913:
remote: *** 914-
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
...
remote: *** error: sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/statx_cp.c: trailing lines

/* 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. */
