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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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.
This will allow additional information about the availability
and capabilities of extra generators to be queried without
actually creating them.
Instead of a static NewFactory() method like the main generator
factories have, use a static GetFactory() method to get a pointer to a
statically allocated extra generator factory. This simplifies memory
management.
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.

This is done the same way as for Eclipse: cmake tries to determine
the number of CPUs, and then adds the respective -jN to the make
invocations in the project file.

The Makefile is a configure-time concept, and the LocalGenerator
is a generate time concept. The LocalGenerator should not be available
from the Makefile.
This should allow the consuming IDE to determine which target specific
preprocessor definitions and include directories are relevant for a
given source file.
This commit creates a dummy text file for each OBJECT library for
the CodeBlocks generator, so the generated project file can reference
a unique file for each target. Most probably these files are unused.

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.
