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  {} {} cond (@var{A})
## @deftypefnx {} {} cond (@var{A}, @var{p})
## Compute the @var{p}-norm condition number of a matrix with respect to
## inversion.
##
## @code{cond (@var{A})} is defined as
## @tex
## $ {\parallel A \parallel_p * \parallel A^{-1} \parallel_p .} $
## @end tex
## @ifnottex
## @code{norm (@var{A}, @var{p}) * norm (inv (@var{A}), @var{p})}.
## @end ifnottex
##
## By default, @code{@var{p} = 2} is used which implies a (relatively slow)
## singular value decomposition.  Other possible selections are
## @code{@var{p} = 1, Inf, "fro"} which are generally faster.  For a full
## discussion of possible @var{p} values, @pxref{XREFnorm,,@code{norm}}.
##
## The condition number of a matrix quantifies the sensitivity of the matrix
## inversion operation when small changes are made to matrix elements.  Ideally
## the condition number will be close to 1.  When the number is large this
## indicates small changes (such as underflow or round-off error) will produce
## large changes in the resulting output.  In such cases the solution results
## from numerical computing are not likely to be accurate.
