[Mesa-dev] [RFC] docs: Add a copyright.c template we can copy when making new files.

[Kenneth Graunke]

Usually when making a new file, people copy some random other file
to get the copyright header comments.  Unfortunately, some of them
are commented in a decades-old style, are word wrapped poorly, or
worse, have a few subtle variations in the text.  While we've tried
to clean those up, we're not going to get every copy to be perfect.

Instead, this commit adds docs/copyright.c, which contains a copy of
the license header which is well-formatted and has the correct text.
The idea is that you can start from this when making a new file, which
should help with consistency.

Hey all,

I noticed when writing my new Iris driver that I had a couple subtle
variations of copyright headers creep in, even in a brand new project.
Mostly word wrapping differences.  To combat that, I made a copyright.c
and made sure to use it when I created new files.  It seemed to help.

So, the thinking is to just actually put that in the project under docs.
Maybe it helps other people as well?
