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.

## @deftypefn {} {[@var{sel}, @var{ok}] =} listdlg (@var{key}, @var{value}, @dots{})
## Return user inputs from a list dialog box in a vector of selection indices
## (@var{sel}) and a flag indicating how the user closed the dialog box
## (@var{ok}).
##
## The indices in @var{sel} are 1-based.
##
## The value of @var{ok} is 1 if the user closed the box with the OK button,
## otherwise it is 0 and @var{sel} is empty.
##
## Input arguments are specified in form of @var{key}, @var{value} pairs.
## The @qcode{"ListString"} argument pair @strong{must} be specified.
##
## Valid @var{key} and @var{value} pairs are:
##
## @table @asis
## @item @qcode{"ListString"}
## a cell array of strings specifying the items to list in the dialog.
##
## @item @qcode{"SelectionMode"}
## can be either @qcode{"Single"} (only one item may be selected at a time) or
## @qcode{"Multiple"} (default).
##
## @item @qcode{"ListSize"}
## a two-element vector @code{[@var{width}, @var{height}]} specifying the size
## of the list field in pixels.  The default is [160, 300].
##
## @item @qcode{"InitialValue"}
## a vector containing 1-based indices of elements which will be pre-selected
## when the list dialog is first displayed.
## The default is 1 (first item).
##
## @item @qcode{"Name"}
## a string to be used as the dialog caption.  Default is "".
##
## @item @qcode{"PromptString"}
## a cell array of strings to be displayed above the list of items.
## Default is @{@}.
##
## @item @qcode{"OKString"}
## a string used to label the OK button.  Default is @qcode{"OK"}.
##
## @item @qcode{"CancelString"}
## a string used to label the Cancel button.  Default is @qcode{"Cancel"}.
## @end table
##
## Example:
##
## @example
## @group
## my_options = @{"An item", "another", "yet another"@};
## [sel, ok] = listdlg ("ListString", my_options,
##                      "SelectionMode", "Multiple");
## if (ok == 1)
##   disp ("You selected:");
##   for i = 1:numel (sel)
##     disp (sprintf ("\t%s", my_options@{sel(i)@}));
##   endfor
## else
##   disp ("You cancelled.");
## endif
## @end group
