Here is a patch for updating README to satisfy the requirements
in the GNU maintainers guide ("Information for Maintainers of GNU
Software").

I am assuming that it's trivial enough that no one will really object.
But if you do, please let me know! I do think it's for the better,
because some of these files are starting to have an awfully long list
of years...

I didn't make the same update in the gdbserver/README file, for two
reasons:
  - gdbserver/ is part of the GDB project;
  - The contents of gdbserver/README should be mostly inside
    either of the GDB manuals (Wiki entry in the "Project Ideas"
    added for that).

I put it at the end of the README because people wanting that
information will spend the effort of locating it. Most people,
I assume, are more interested in how to build GDB than what
a range of years in the copyright notice means precisely...

gdb/ChangeLog:

        * README (Copyright and License Notices): New section.

OK to commit?

Thanks,
