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 {} {@var{p} =} primes (@var{n})
## Return all primes up to @var{n}.
##
## The output data class (double, single, uint32, etc.@:) is the same as the
## input class of @var{n}.  The algorithm used is the Sieve of Eratosthenes.
##
## Note: If you need a specific number of primes you can use the fact that the
## distance from one prime to the next is, on average, proportional to the
## logarithm of the prime.  Integrating, one finds that there are about
## @math{k} primes less than
## @tex
## $k \log (5 k)$.
## @end tex
## @ifnottex
## k*log (5*k).
## @end ifnottex
##
## See also @code{list_primes} if you need a specific number @var{n} of primes.
