[hdtbl]: Revise mixed-pickles.roff copyrt notice.
Revise copyright notice to declare only the year 2006 in the copyright
notice, reflecting the date of its initial commit and the last "legally
significant"[1] contribution to it, which was commit 9229b99f38 on
2006-05-30 by Werner Lemberg.
The existing notice claimed an initial copyright year of 2005, however
none existed in groff's (then CVS) repository at that time. Possibly
these files circulated on the groff@gnu mailing list--or elsewhere--for
some time prior to 2006. There should be no difficulty in updating the
copyright notice again if presented with applicable evidence of earlier
"fixation" in a "tangible medium"[ibid.]; archived emails would qualify.
[1] See groff's "HACKING" file, section "Updating Copyright Notices".
