update Octave Project Developers copyright for the new year In files that have the "Octave Project Developers" copyright notice, update for 2021. In all .txi and .texi files except gpl.txi and gpl.texi in the doc/liboctave and doc/interpreter directories, change the copyright to "Octave Project Developers", the same as used for other source files. Update copyright notices for 2022 (not done since 2019). For gpl.txi and gpl.texi, change the copyright notice to be "Free Software Foundation, Inc." and leave the date at 2007 only because this file only contains the text of the GPL, not anything created by the Octave Project Developers. Add Paul Thomas to contributors.in.

  ## is [A-Za-z0-9\.\_\-].  However, this is very limited.  We specially
  ## want to support a "+" so we can support "pkgname-2.1.0+" during
  ## development.  So we use Debian's character set for version strings
  ## https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version
  ## with the exception of ":" (colon) because that's the PATH separator.
  ##
  ## Debian does not include "_" because it is used to separate the name,
  ## version, and arch in their deb files.  While the actual filenames are
  ## never parsed to get that information, it is important to have a unique
  ## separator character to prevent filename clashes.  For example, if we
  ## used hyhen as separator, "signal-2-1-rc1" could be "signal-2" version
  ## "1-rc1" or "signal" version "2-1-rc1".  A package file for both must be
  ## able to co-exist in the same directory, e.g., during package install or
  ## in a flat level package repository.
