[Cin] Working on adding GPL license attribution for all program files

*Zero* occurrences of GPL statements in Cinelerra-CV of the type
"Copyright...2016 Contributors-CV" -- no one took the time to bother about
updating to include the CV Contributors.  I think the Archived Mailing List
was good enough and very thorough and still is.
*Five* occurrences of individuals specifically including GPLs in code they
wrote WITHOUT including Adam as author of directory as shown below:
