Per-source copyright/license notice headers that spell out copyright holder
names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.
Precise contributor information is already maintained automatically by the
version control tool. Ultimately it is the receiver of a file who is
responsible for determining its licensing status, and per-source notices are
merely a convenience. Therefore it is simpler and more accurate for
each source to have a generic notice of the license name and references to
more detailed information on copyright holders and full license terms.
Our `Copyright.txt` file now contains a list of Contributors whose names
appeared source-level copyright notices. It also references version control
history for more precise information. Therefore we no longer need to spell
out the list of Contributors in each source file notice.
Replace CMake per-source copyright/license notice headers with a short
description of the license and links to `Copyright.txt` and online information
available from "https://cmake.org/licensing". The online URL also handles
cases of modules being copied out of our source into other projects, so we
can drop our notices about replacing links with full license text.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/filter-notices.bash` script to perform the majority
of the replacements mechanically. Manually fix up shebang lines and trailing
newlines in a few files. Manually update the notices in a few files that the
script does not handle.
Run the `Utilities/Scripts/clang-format.bash` script to update
all our C++ code to a new style defined by `.clang-format`.
Use `clang-format` version 3.8.

Casts from std::string -> cmStdString were high on the list of things
taking up time. Avoid such implicit casts across function calls by just
using std::string everywhere.
The comment that the symbol name is too long is no longer relevant since
modern debuggers alias the templates anyways and the size is a
non-issue since the underlying methods are generated since it's
inherited.
This patch is heavily inspired by Michael Wild.
The interfaces cmDepends::Write and cmDepends::WriteDependencies where
extended to allow multiple dependees (sources) per depender (object).
cmDepends::Write first collect all dependencies into a std::set before
passing it to cmDepends::WriteDependencies.
cmDependsC::WriteDependencies also first collects all explicit and
implicit dependencies into a std::set and only then writes
depend.{internal,make}. The implementation of cmDependsFortran simply
loops over all sources and proceeds as before, whereas the cmDependsJava
implementation is as trivial as before.
This is for preventing exponential growth of depend.{internal,make} in
the next commit which fixes dependency-vector erasure in
cmDepends::CheckDependencies.

This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
Now only the dependencies for the file where the dependencies actually may
have changed are rescanned, before that this was done for all source files
even if only one source file had changed.
This reduces e.g. on my machine the time for scanning the dependencies
of kdelibs/khtml/ when only one file (khtml_global.cpp) has changed from
around 7.5 seconds to 1.2 seconds.
The tests succeed, it does what I expected it to do on kdelibs, and Brad
also reviewed the patch, so I think it should be ok.
