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.

## Return user input from a multi-textfield dialog box in a cell array of
## strings, or an empty cell array if the dialog is closed by the Cancel
## button.
##
## Inputs:
##
## @table @var
## @item prompt
## A cell array with strings labeling each text field.  This input is required.
##
## @item title
## String to use for the caption of the dialog.  The default is
## @qcode{"Input Dialog"}.
##
## @item rowscols
## Specifies the size of the text fields and can take three forms:
##
## @enumerate
## @item a scalar value which defines the number of rows used for each text
## field.
##
## @item a vector which defines the individual number of rows used for each
## text field.
##
## @item a matrix which defines the individual number of rows and columns used
## for each text field.  In the matrix each row describes a single text field.
## The first column specifies the number of input rows to use and the second
## column specifies the text field width.
## @end enumerate
##
## @item defaults
## A list of default values to place in each text field.  It must be a cell
## array of strings with the same size as @var{prompt}.
##
## @item options
## Not supported, only for @sc{matlab} compatibility.
## @end table
##
## Example:
##
## @example
## @group
## prompt = @{"Width", "Height", "Depth"@};
## defaults = @{"1.10", "2.20", "3.30"@};
## rowscols = [1,10; 2,20; 3,30];
## dims = inputdlg (prompt, "Enter Box Dimensions", ...
##                  rowscols, defaults);
## @end group
