With some data-type conversions we can do a best-effort conversion of
UI data like default values and min and max to the new data type.
This can help to make Python scripts simpler and to avoid bugs like
#105965.

Along with the 4.1 libraries upgrade, we are bumping the clang-format
version from 8-12 to 17. This affects quite a few files.
If not already the case, you may consider pointing your IDE to the
clang-format binary bundled with the Blender precompiled libraries.
Code using #PyObject_GetBuffer was combining the `PyBUF_FORMAT` and
`PyBUF_SIMPLE` flags, but the documentation specifies that
`PyBUF_FORMAT` can be |'d to any of the flags except `PyBUF_SIMPLE`
because the latter already implies format `B` (unsigned bytes).
The flags in such cases have been replaced with
`PyBUF_ND | PyBUF_FORMAT`, which has the additional requirement that the
buffer must provide it's `shape` field.
This fixes `memoryview` objects raising a `BufferError` when requested,
due to the invalid combination of flags making them be considered
invalid buffers when they would otherwise be valid.

Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
