src/libs/libbib/libbib.am: Drop copyright notice.
The entire non-comment content of this file is well below the FSF's
threshold of "legal significance",[1] and appears from its Git history
to have been since Bertrand Garrigues originated it in 2014. (The
comments themselves consist of editor aids--instructions to text editor
programs--or legal notices, not creative, original expression.)
I retain the remainder of the notice because it discloses the file's
provenance when considered in isolation, and notes groff's status as
free software. However, I'm updating that notice from GPLv2 to GPLv3.
Apparently, this file was overlooked when groff shifted from GNU GPLv2
to GPLv3 in 2009.
