Multiple of our libraries would pull in system libraries that we have static versions of.
These where libxml2 and libz and also libzstd.
I also noticed that the script that was supposed to check on this was not really usable to check for these kinds of things so I updated it.
Now you can run it with `python3.11 tools/check_blender_release/check_release.py -- ../build_linux_release/bin/` and it will check all binaries and libraries that we ship for any system libraries that we don't expect to be linked.
The libraries I'm aware of that pulled in system libs were:
boost
mesa
osl
llvm
(The removed cmake flags for osl was because these were unused and cmake printed warnings)

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.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
The steam environment sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH with a libtbb.so.2 that is
incompatible with our own. This wrapper scripts gives our own library
priority.
There is a more modern "Steam Linux Runtime" that can be used instead of
the "LD_LIBRARY_PATH Steam Runtime" and which launches Blender, but it
fails to detect GPU compute libraries. So that was not an option.

This commit implements described in the #104573.
The goal is to fix the confusion of the submodule hashes change, which are not
ideal for any of the supported git-module configuration (they are either always
visible causing confusion, or silently staged and committed, also causing
confusion).
This commit replaces submodules with a checkout of addons and addons_contrib,
covered by the .gitignore, and locale and developer tools are moved to the
main repository.
This also changes the paths:
- /release/scripts are moved to the /scripts
- /source/tools are moved to the /tools
- /release/datafiles/locale is moved to /locale
This is done to avoid conflicts when using bisect, and also allow buildbot to
automatically "recover" wgen building older or newer branches/patches.
Running `make update` will initialize the local checkout to the changed
repository configuration.
Another aspect of the change is that the make update will support Github style
of remote organization (origin remote pointing to thy fork, upstream remote
pointing to the upstream blender/blender.git).
