Pádraig Brady 28b176085f maint: update all copyright year number ranges
Update to latest gnulib with new copyright year.
Run "make update-copyright" and then...

* gnulib: Update included in this commit as copyright years
are the only change from the previous gnulib commit.
* tests/init.sh: Sync with gnulib to pick up copyright year.
* bootstrap: Likewise.
* tests/sample-test: Adjust to use the single most recent year.
