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

Checked into GIT the first set of 50 files with additional GPL copyright
message for CV-Contributors 2003-2016.  It is taking longer than I expected
but I want to get it as correct as possible - probably another 150 to go.

Yes, their contributions are still alive and if I had to guess, at least
95%+ are but I did find a few that were not. and probably missed a very
few.  By comparing "before" and "after" of the last Cinelerra 5.0 to the
first beta “Cinelerra 5.1” I was able to somewhat detect when CV changes
were added (as opposed to HV changes which already have a GPL attribution)
and these files are the ones that had the CV-Contributors attribute added.
I am being as thorough as I can be so as not to miss any but will never be
100% sure.   Many of the 1 or 2 line changes are "interlace" related or an
"include" file while some of the other one line changes are bug fixes --
these are the hardest to find and the most important to have.  And, of
course, the other most important changes are the new features added by the
CV contributors.
