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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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.
The previous version added -jN to the make invokation if UNIX
was set, but this was true also when cross compiling.
What we are actually interested in is CMAKE_HOST_UNIX, i.e.
whether the build host is UNIX.
Or we should check more exactly what CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is.

Eclipse may get confused by these linked resources, because it sees
the same source file multiple times then and doesn't recognize
that it's the same file actually.

This patch uses get_filename_component(REALPATH) so symlinks in the path
to Eclipse are resolved, which makes the version detection work in such cases.

Previously ECLIPSE_CDT4_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT was used, but the
new name CMAKE_ECLIPSE_GENERATE_SOURCE_PROJECT is more in line with
the general naming conventions in cmake, and, more importantly IMO,
in cmake-gui it now appears right next to the other eclipse-related
variables, which all start with CMAKE_ECLIPSE_.
A warning is printed if the old variable is TRUE and the new one isn't,
so users should notice that they have to enable the new one.

Refactor code from CMakeFindEclipseCDT4.cmake so it can be used
alkso for CodeBlocks, and move it into new file
CMakeExtraGeneratorDetermineCompilerMacrosAndIncludeDirs.cmake.

The regex was slightly wrong, it excluded the last line, so e.g.
/usr/include/ didn't end up in the .cproject file.
Thanks to Shash Chatterjee for the patch.

This variable can be set to command line arguments which will be passed
to make when eclipse invokes make, e.g. you can enter "-j8" to get
8 parallel builds (#9930)

This adds copyright/license notification blocks CMake's non-find
modules. Most of the modules had no notices at all. Some had notices
referring to the BSD license already. This commit normalizes existing
notices and adds missing notices.
Now gcc is queried also for the builtin definitions, and they are then added
to the .cproject file. This should make the preprocessor highlighting in
eclipse work better (#9272)
Patch mostly from Miguel.
