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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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.
Rationale:
* mode_t is not defined on all platforms
* bitmasking (operator &) promotes the value to an int anyway
* libarchive uses int in the public api starting with version 4
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.

Sparse files in tars are a GNU extension that libarchive will use if it
detects holes in the input file, even when using the standard pax/paxr
formats. Not all tar implementations can handle sparse files; in particular,
the internal implementation dpkg uses to extract packages can't. To
maximize archive portability, turn this feature off by clearing the
sparseness information from archive entries.
Add an option to set the mtime of entries in a tarball so that one can
create a tarball with a consistent content hash (e.g. MD5) for a given
set of files regardless of their current timestamps on disk. This will
be useful for submission of tarballs to CDash, which tracks content
hashes to avoid duplication.

This is not needed but it does not cost much to do it for all
potentially supported format in libarchive. XZ and LZMA are not
builtin libarchive and require external lib but if
CMAKE_USE_SYSTEM_LIBARCHIVE is ON then we may get it for free.
This will be needed to use cmArchiveWrire in cmCPackArchiveGenerator
with the same feature set as before. Note that adding zip
support to libarchive-wrapper would also makes it easy to add
a new -E zip command to cmake commands.
