Mainly focus on files that use BSD 3-Clause license.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

Also add $FreeBSD$ to a few files to keep svn happy.
Discussed with: imp, rwatson
types being on the same line as the function name, this finally closes
PR # bin/1785. Also allow :: and ~ as part of the function name, for
C++.
Still, C++ operator overloading will not be recognized as a valid
function name. Fixing this would require a major overhaul of the \p
recognition parser.
. correct a typo in regexp.c,
. implement a new "nc" (non-comment) feature to describe exceptions from
the comment detection; there were problems in Perl with the $# operator
that could not be solved by any other means,
. prevent blocklevel from becoming negative (due to earlier misdetected
sequences), this is probably a workaround for the problem described
in PR # bin/1785,
. update the Perl description to use the "nc" feature,
. update the man page for the "nc" and the undocumented "ab"/"ae"
features.
