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names and years are hard to maintain and often out-of-date or plain wrong.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.

Use the KWSys Process "MergeOutput" option to give each test child
process the same pipe for both stdout and stderr. This allows natural
merging of stdout and stderr together instead of merging on arbitrary
buffered read boundaries as before.
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.
This commit fixes cmCTestRunTest and cmProcess to more efficiently
handle child output. We now use the buffer for each child output pipe
to hold at most a partial line plus one new block of data at a time.
All complete lines are scanned in-place, and then only the partial line
at the end of the buffer is moved back to the beginning before appending
new data.
We also simplify the cmProcess interface by making GetNextOutputLine the
only method that needs to be called while the process is running. This
simplifies cmCTestRunTest so that CheckOutput can be called until it
returns false when the process is done.
