fa5f29774872d18febc0df38831a6e45f3de69cc scripted-diff: [doc] Unify stale copyright headers (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Historically, the upper year range in file headers was bumped manually
or with a script.
This has many issues:
* The script is causing churn. See for example commit 306ccd4, or
drive-by first-time contributions bumping them one-by-one. (A few from
this year: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32008,
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31642,
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32963, ...)
* Some, or likely most, upper year values were wrong. Reasons for
incorrect dates could be code moves, cherry-picks, or simply bugs in
the script.
* The upper range is not needed for anything.
* Anyone who wants to find the initial file creation date, or file
history, can use `git log` or `git blame` to get more accurate
results.
* Many places are already using the `-present` suffix, with the meaning
that the upper range is omitted.
To fix all issues, this bumps the upper range of the copyright headers
to `-present`.
Further notes:
* Obviously, the yearly 4-line bump commit for the build system (c.f.
b537a2c02a9921235d1ecf8c3c7dc1836ec68131) is fine and will remain.
* For new code, the date range can be fully omitted, as it is done
already by some developers. Obviously, developers are free to pick
whatever style they want. One can list the commits for each style.
* For example, to list all commits that use `-present`:
`git log --format='%an (%ae) [%h: %s]' -S 'present The Bitcoin'`.
* Alternatively, to list all commits that use no range at all:
`git log --format='%an (%ae) [%h: %s]' -S '(c) The Bitcoin'`.
<!--
* The lower range can be wrong as well, so it could be omitted as well,
but this is left for a follow-up. A previous attempt was in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/26817.

Suggested by @l0rinc in #34004
Message by @l0rinc:
This adds a consteval constructor to transaction_identifier (Txid/Wtxid) to allow parsing hex strings at compile-time.
This replaces runtime FromHex checks in tests, ensuring that malformed hardcoded hashes cause build failures rather than runtime test failures.
Test variables are explicitly marked constexpr. This is required to workaround a regression in GCC 14 (Bug 117501) where the compiler incorrectly flags consteval initialization of non-constexpr variables as "statements with no effect".
