This applies our existing style guide, and adds a new rule to that style
guide for modular components such as platform ports and modules:
Includes from the platform port or module should be included with relative
paths (relative to the root folder of the modular component, e.g.
`platform/linuxbsd/`), in their own section before Godot's "core" includes.
The `api` and `export` subfolders also need to be handled as self-contained
(and thus use relative paths for their "local" includes) as they are all
compiled for each editor platform, without necessarily having the api/export
matching platform folder in the include path.
E.g. the Linux editor build will compile `platform/android/{api,export}/*.cpp`
and those need to use relative includes for it to work.
As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
