[tmac]: Revise copyright notices in tests.
Replace comma-separated list with hyphenated (dashed?) range.
Our "HACKING" file says:
* It's okay to simply report a range of years in the copyright notice
instead of a comma-separated list. As far as GBR knows there is no
hard rule that such ranges are interpreted exhaustively, and unless
someone has a chronological record of changes to the file, a broken
sequence of copyright coverage years makes little difference.
Copyright protection extends to those portions of the work fixed in a
tangible medium in the years declared in the copyright notice, except
for those portions whose copyright durations have elapsed. But these
are so lengthy that, in the United States as of 2025, no work of
computer software or documentation has ever yet even _partially_ aged
into the public domain. (Some has been placed in the public domain
deliberately, and some never enjoyed copyright protection at all.)
