[PATCH 0/2] [gdb] Add missing copyright notices

[Tom de Vries]

Add missing copright notices in a few files.

The first patch does so in three files in gdb/contrib.

The second patch does so in gdb/pyproject.toml.

Some of these files are so small that they can be considered trivial, and
consequently don't need a copyright notice [1], but it can't hurt to add one.

[PATCH 1/2] [gdb/contrib] Add missing copyright notices

[Tom de Vries]

I found a few files in gdb/contrib that were missing a copyright notice.

In setup.cfg, it was trivial to add.

In codespell-ignore-words.txt, it was also trivial to add, but I found a
codespell issue stating that it's not explicitly support, so I added a note
about that.

In codespell-dictionary.txt, I had to resort to a hack, using an "empty word"
rewrite rule:
...
-># Comment here.
...

Also, I found that empty lines are not allowed in codespell-dictionary.txt.  I
filed an issue about these two problems [1].

Since these three files were added in 2025, I've used 2025-2026 as copyright
years.

Tested by running "pre-commit run --all-files".

[PATCH 2/2] [gdb] Add missing copyright notice in pyproject.toml

[Tom de Vries]

I noticed gdb/pyproject.toml is missing a copyright notice.

Add this.  Since it was added in 2021, use copyright years 2021-2026.

Now that gdb/contrib/setup.cfg is gone, I've dropped that part and 
rewritten the commit message accordingly.

I've asked Claude Code to review the patch.

It did comment on the fragility of the codespell-dictionary.txt hack, 
which I agree with, but I'm hoping this will be short lived, and if it 
turns out to cause problems, it's easy enough to revert.

Pushed.
