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.

## @deftypefn  {} {@var{varname} =} genvarname (@var{str})
## @deftypefnx {} {@var{varname} =} genvarname (@var{str}, @var{exclusions})
##
## This function is obsolete.  Use @code{matlab.lang.makeValidName} or
## @code{matlab.lang.makeUniqueStrings} instead.
##
## Create valid unique variable name(s) from @var{str}.
##
## If @var{str} is a cellstr, then a unique variable is created for each cell
## in @var{str}.
##
## @example
## @group
## genvarname (@{"foo", "foo"@})
##   @result{}
##      @{
##        [1,1] = foo
##        [1,2] = foo1
##      @}
## @end group
## @end example
##
## If @var{exclusions} is given, then the variable(s) will be unique to each
## other and to @var{exclusions} (@var{exclusions} may be either a string or a
## cellstr).
##
## @example
## @group
## x = 3.141;
## genvarname ("x", who ())
##   @result{} x1
## @end group
## @end example
##
## Note that the result is a char array or cell array of strings, not the
## variables themselves.  To define a variable, @code{eval()} can be used.
## The following trivial example sets @code{x} to 42.
##
## @example
## @group
## name = genvarname ("x");
## eval ([name " = 42"]);
##   @result{} x =  42
## @end group
## @end example
##
## This can be useful for creating unique struct field names.
##
## @example
## @group
## x = struct ();
## for i = 1:3
##   x.(genvarname ("a", fieldnames (x))) = i;
## endfor
##   @result{} x =
##      @{
##        a =  1
##        a1 =  2
##        a2 =  3
##      @}
## @end group
## @end example
##
## Since variable names may only contain letters, digits, and underscores,
## @code{genvarname} will replace any sequence of disallowed characters with
## an underscore.  Also, variables may not begin with a digit; in this case
## an @samp{x} is added before the variable name.
##
## Variable names beginning and ending with two underscores @qcode{"__"} are
## valid, but they are used internally by Octave and should generally be
## avoided; therefore, @code{genvarname} will not generate such names.
##
## @code{genvarname} will also ensure that returned names do not clash with
## keywords such as @qcode{"for"} and @qcode{"if"}.  A number will be
## appended if necessary.  Note, however, that this does @strong{not} include
## function names such as @qcode{"sin"}.  Such names should be included in
## @var{exclusions} if necessary.
## @seealso{matlab.lang.makeValidName, matlab.lang.makeUniqueStrings,
## namelengthmax, isvarname, iskeyword, exist, who, tempname, eval}
