There remain some false positives, hits in test data, and `dir` use,
around 100 issues in total.
There is no plan to enforce badwords on tests.
Also:
- badwords.txt: let a few `manpage[s]` occurrences through
(in Perl code).
Closes#19541
- add 'use warnings' and 'use strict' where missing from Perl scripts.
- fix 'Use of uninitialized value'.
- fix missing declarations.
- test1140.pl: fix 'Possible precedence issue with control flow operator'.
- fix other misc issues.
Most actual errors found during this PR were fixed and merged via
separate PRs.
Likely there are remaining warnings not found and fixed in this PR.
Closes#17877
- they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions

checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements
Closes#10205
Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
Reported by the new script 'scripts/copyright.pl'. The script has a
regex whitelist for the files that don't need copyright headers.
Removed three (mostly usesless) README files from docs/
