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{retval}, @var{status}] =} __makeinfo__ (@var{text}, @var{output_type}, @var{fsee_also})
## Undocumented internal function.
## @end deftypefn

## Run @code{makeinfo} on a given text.
##
## The string @var{text} is run through the @code{__makeinfo__} program
## to generate output in various formats.  This string must contain valid
## Texinfo formatted text.
##
## The @var{output_type} selects the format of the output.  This can be either
## @t{"html"}, @t{"texinfo"}, or @t{"plain text"}.  By default this is
## @t{"plain text"}.  If @var{output_type} is @t{"texinfo"}, the @t{@@seealso}
## macro is expanded, but otherwise the text is unaltered.
##
## If the optional argument @var{see_also} is present, it is used to expand the
## Octave specific @t{@@seealso} macro.  This argument must be a function
## handle, that accepts a cell array of strings as input argument (each
## elements of the array corresponds to the arguments to the @t{@@seealso}
## macro), and return the expanded string.  If this argument is not given, the
## @t{@@seealso} macro will be expanded to the text
##
## @example
## See also: arg1, arg2, ...
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## for @t{"plain text"} output, and
##
## @example
## See also: @@ref@{arg1@}, @@ref@{arg2@}, ...
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## otherwise.
##
## The optional output argument @var{status} contains the exit status of the
## @code{makeinfo} program as returned by @code{system}.
