Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
A lot of files were missing copyright field in the header and
the Blender Foundation contributed to them in a sense of bug
fixing and general maintenance.
This change makes it explicit that those files are at least
partially copyrighted by the Blender Foundation.
Note that this does not make it so the Blender Foundation is
the only holder of the copyright in those files, and developers
who do not have a signed contract with the foundation still
hold the copyright as well.
Another aspect of this change is using SPDX format for the
header. We already used it for the license specification,
and now we state it for the copyright as well, following the
FAQ:
https://reuse.software/faq/
This better aligns with OSX/Linux warnings.
Although `__pragma(warning(suppress:4100))` is not the same as
`__attribute__((__unused__))` in gcc (which only affects the attribute
instead of the line), it still seems to be better to use it than to
hide the warning entirely.
The launcher is designed to exit as soon as possible
so there's no useless processes idling. Now when steam
launches blender with the launcher, this breaks the
time tracking steam has as the thing it just started
exits within milliseconds.
There already is some code in the launcher that makes
the launcher linger to support background mode. This
patch extends this a bit to also wait if the parent
process is steam.exe

Use a shorter/simpler license convention, stops the header taking so
much space.
Follow the SPDX license specification: https://spdx.org/licenses
- C/C++/objc/objc++
- Python
- Shell Scripts
- CMake, GNUmakefile
While most of the source tree has been included
- `./extern/` was left out.
- `./intern/cycles` & `./intern/atomic` are also excluded because they
use different header conventions.
doc/license/SPDX-license-identifiers.txt has been added to list SPDX all
used identifiers.

unity launches blender in background mode to do some
file conversions, ever since the launcher got introduced
this process broke.
The root cause here is: Unity looks up the default program
to launch .blend files with, which is now the launcher, then
launches it in background mode with a script to export the data.
The launcher however was designed to exit as quickly as
possible so there would not be an extra background process
lingering. It does not wait for blender to exit and does not
pass back any error codes.
This broke unity's workflow since it assumed if the process
exits and succeeds the data *must* be ready for reading which
no longer holds true.
This change keeps the launcher design as was previously,
*except* when launching in background mode, then it
waits and passes back any error codes, thus restoring
unity's workflow.

blender-laucher.c was not an ideal name for this file
since it's not directly clear it is windows only.
This change renames it to blender_launcher_win32.c
to be more in line with other win32 specific files
we have.
