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
Reported by the new script 'scripts/copyright.pl'. The script has a
regex whitelist for the files that don't need copyright headers.
Removed three (mostly usesless) README files from docs/
Closes#5141
Note that for some reason there is this warning (that also exists with
autotools, added since curl-7_15_1-94-ga718cb05f):
docs/libcurl/curl_multi_socket_all.3:1: can't open `man3/curl_multi_socket.3': No such file or directory
Additionally, adjust the roffit --mandir option to support creating
links when doing out-of-tree builds.

Also make Perl mandatory to allow building the docs.
While CMakeLists.txt could probably read the list of manual pages from
Makefile.am, actually putting those in CMakeLists.txt is cleaner so that
is what is done here.
Fixes#1230
