Update ZED copyright boilerplate
This commit updates the copyright boilerplate within the ZED subtree.
The instructions for appending a contributor copyright line have
been removed. Manually maintaining copyright notices in this
manner is error-prone, imprecise at a file-scope granularity, and
oftentimes inaccurate. These lines can become a pernicious source of
merge conflicts. A commit log is better suited to maintaining this
information. Consequently, a line has been added to the boilerplate
to refer to the git commit log for authoritative copyright attribution.
To account for the scenario where a file may become separated from
the codebase and commit history (i.e., it is copied somewhere else),
a line has been added to identify the file's origin.
