[Buildroot] [PATCH] Cleanup/simplify copyright info

[Peter Korsgaard]

Historically we have been (more-or-less consistently, sometimes forgetting
some files) updating the end year of the copyright statements at the
beginning of a new year.

We're naturally not alone in that.  Recently this was discussed in curl, and
it turns out that copyright years are not really required:

https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2023/01/08/copyright-without-years/

So drop the years and simplify the copyright statements.  While we're at it,
also ensure the same syntax (capital C, email address) is used everywhere.
