    doc/doc.am: Revise copyright notice.
    
    Add a copyright notice for myself.  I've never executed copyright
    assignment paperwork with the FSF, so my "legally significant" changes
    to doc.am from 2021 to 2023[1] can't be under the FSF's copyright.
    
    [1] Judging by the threshold articulated in the GNU Maintainers' manual:
        "A change of just a few lines (less than 15 or so) is not legally
        significant for copyright."
    
        https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Legally-Significant.html
    
        I applied this metric in a crude and obvious way; using `git log
        --stat`, I looked for commits with 15 or more "insertions", and
        subtracted the number of "deletions".  If the resulting count was
        still 15 or greater, I treated the change as "legally significant".
    
        For example, this commit is ruled out:

             1 file changed, 59 insertions(+), 48 deletions(-)
    
        But these remain "legally significant":
