maint: prepare to use date ranges in copyright notices.
* README (Copyright statements): New section explaining the range notation. The GNU coding standards require this explanation. I copied ours from coreutils. * build-aux/update-b4-copyright: Revert 2010-06-17 changes that disabled Bison's automated use of ranges. * cfg.mk (update-copyright-env): Likewise.
