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.

## @deftypefnx {} {@var{btn} =} questdlg (@var{msg}, @var{title}, @var{btn1}, @var{btn2}, @var{btn3}, @var{default})
## Display @var{msg} using a question dialog box and return the caption of
## the activated button.
##
## The message may have multiple lines separated by newline characters ("\n"),
## or it may be a cellstr array with one element for each line.
##
## The optional @var{title} (character string) can be used to specify the
## dialog caption.  It defaults to @qcode{"Question Dialog"}.
##
## The dialog may contain two or three buttons which will all close the dialog.
##
## The string @var{default} identifies the default button, which is activated
## by pressing the @key{ENTER} key.  It must match one of the strings given
## in @var{btn1}, @var{btn2}, or @var{btn3}.
##
## If only @var{msg} and @var{title} are specified, three buttons with the
## default captions @qcode{"Yes"}, @qcode{"No"}, and @qcode{"Cancel"} are used.
##
## If only two button captions, @var{btn1} and @var{btn2}, are specified the
## dialog will have only these two buttons.
##
## Examples:
##
## @example
## @group
## btn = questdlg ("Close Octave?", "Some fancy title", ...
##                 "Yes", "No", "No");
## if (strcmp (btn, "Yes"))
##   exit ();
