README: remove the copyright notice

The copyright notice would need updating, because there are also others
than Lennart and Colin who own copyrights to paprefs, and the years are
out of date. Having to continuously update the copyright years seems
just unnecessary churn to me. People can browse the git history if
they're interested in the copyright details.

README: remove the "Acknowledgements" section

Acknowledging people's contributions is nice, but I don't like the chore
of keeping the section up to date.

README: remove reference to an ancient Debian version

It's of little use to know that the initial version was written on an
April 2006 version of Debian testing.

README: remove the page footer

Keeping the footer up to date is extra work with little benefit.

+<li>There can now be only one pavucontrol window open at a time. Trying to

+<li>Added a "Show volume meters" checkbox to the Configuration tab. Disabling
+the volume meters reduces CPU use.</li>
+<li>Improve the use of space (remove useless margins and paddings).</li>
+<li>Use a more appropriate icon for the channel lock button.</li>
+<li>Maximum latency offset increased from 2 to 5 seconds to accommodate AirPlay
+devices that often have higher latency than 2 seconds (this is not that useful
+on newer PulseAudio versions, though, because the latency is reported much more
+accurately than before).</li>
