Sergey Sharybin c1bc70b711 Cleanup: Add a copyright notice to files and use SPDX format
A lot of files were missing copyright field in the header and
the Blender Foundation contributed to them in a sense of bug
fixing and general maintenance.

This change makes it explicit that those files are at least
partially copyrighted by the Blender Foundation.

Note that this does not make it so the Blender Foundation is
the only holder of the copyright in those files, and developers
who do not have a signed contract with the foundation still
hold the copyright as well.

Another aspect of this change is using SPDX format for the
header. We already used it for the license specification,
and now we state it for the copyright as well, following the
FAQ:

/**
* A `SharedCache` is meant to share lazily computed data between equivalent objects. It allows
* saving unnecessary computation by making a calculated value accessible from any object that
* shares the cache. Unlike `CacheMutex`, the cached data is embedded inside of this object.
*
* When data is copied (copy-on-write before changing a mesh, for example), the cache is shared,
* allowing its calculation on either the source or original to make the result available on both
* objects. As soon as either object is changed in a way that invalidates the cache, the data is
* "un-shared", and they will no-longer influence each other.
*
* One important use case is a typical CoW update loop of a persistent geometry data-block in
* `Main`. Even if bounds are only calculated on the evaluated *copied* geometry, if nothing
* changes them, they only need to be calculated on the first evaluation, because the same
* evaluated bounds are also accessible from the original geometry.
*
* The cache is implemented with a shared pointer, so it is relatively cheap, but to avoid
* unnecessary overhead it should only be used for relatively expensive computations.
