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.

##
## Plot a 2-D vector field with arrows.
##
## Plot the (@var{u}, @var{v}) components of a vector field at the grid points
## defined by (@var{x}, @var{y}).  If the grid is uniform then @var{x} and
## @var{y} can be specified as vectors and @code{meshgrid} is used to create
## the 2-D grid.
##
## If @var{x} and @var{y} are not given they are assumed to be
## @code{(1:@var{m}, 1:@var{n})} where
## @code{[@var{m}, @var{n}] = size (@var{u})}.
##
## The optional input @var{s} is a scalar defining a scaling factor to use for
## the arrows of the field relative to the mesh spacing.  A value of 1.0 will
## result in the longest vector exactly filling one grid square.  A value of 0
## disables all scaling.  The default value is 0.9.
##
## The style to use for the plot can be defined with a line style @var{style}
## of the same format as the @code{plot} command.  If a marker is specified
## then the markers are drawn at the origin of the vectors (which are the grid
## points defined by @var{x} and @var{y}).  When a marker is specified, the
## arrowhead is not drawn.  If the argument @qcode{"filled"} is given then the
## markers are filled.
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then plot into this axes,
## rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
##
## The optional return value @var{h} is a graphics handle to a quiver object.
## A quiver object regroups the components of the quiver plot (body, arrow,
## and marker), and allows them to be changed together.
##
## Example:
##
## @example
## @group
## [x, y] = meshgrid (1:2:20);
## h = quiver (x, y, sin (2*pi*x/10), sin (2*pi*y/10));
## set (h, "maxheadsize", 0.33);
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @seealso{quiver3, compass, feather, plot}
## @end deftypefn
