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.

Please **do not** send pull-requests or open new issues on Github.
Github is a downstream mirror and is not frequently monitored,
all development is coordinated upstream on GNU resources.
* Send general questions or suggestions to: coreutils@gnu.org .
* Send bugs reports to: bug-coreutils@gnu.org .
## Bug reports
Before reporting a new bug, please check the following resources:
* Coreutils FAQ: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html
* Coreutils Gotchas: https://www.pixelbeat.org/docs/coreutils-gotchas.html
contains a list of some quirks and unexpected behavior (which are often
mistaken for bugs).
* Online Manual:
https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/index.html
* Search the archives for previous questions and answers:
* Coreutils Mailing list (General usage and advice):
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/
* Bug reports Mailing List:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/
* Open Bugs:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?which=pkg&data=coreutils
* Translation related issues:

## Effective bug reports
* Include a descriptive subject line (e.g. the program with which
you experience a problem, and what the problem is).
* Include the version of the program (e.g. the output of `PROG --version`).
* Include the operating system and the type of hardware you are using
(e.g. the output of `uname -a`).
* Include the exact command and parameters you have used.
* Clearly explain what is the output you expected to get, and what is
the actual result you encountered.
* Include as much information as possible to reproduce the problem.
If the problem happens on a very large input file, try to provide
a minimal example (a subset of the input file) that still causes the problem.
*Do not* include attachments over 40kB.
* List policy is reply-to-all, and non-subscribers may post.
* There may be a moderation delay for a first-time post, whether or not
you subscribe.
## Mailing List Etiquette
When sending messages to coreutils@gnu.org or bug-coreutils@gnu.org :
* Send messages as plain text.
* Do not send messages encoded as HTML nor encoded as base64 MIME nor
included as multiple formats.
* Avoid sending large messages, such as log files, system call trace
output, and other content resulting in messages over about 40 kB.
* Avoid sending screenshots (e.g. PNG files). When reporting errors
you encounter on the terminal, copy and paste the text to your message.
