libstdc++: Update documentation about copyright and GPL notices in tests

Browse Source 
There is no need to require FSF copyright for tests that are just
"self-evident" ways to check the API and behaviour of the library.
This is consistent with tests for the compiler, which do not have
copyright and licence notices either.

libstdc++-v3/ChangeLog:

	* doc/xml/manual/test.xml: Remove requirement for copyright and
	GPL notice in tests.
	* doc/html/manual/test.html: Regenerate.

Historically all test files were copyright the FSF, and GPL licensed.
We no longer require that, because most tests are uninteresting
and contain no "original authorship", and so would not be protected
by copyright anyway.
If you do want to add the FSF copyright notice and GPL licence text,
then the first copyright year should correspond to the date
the file was checked in to version control. If a test is copied from
an existing file it should retain the copyright years from the
original file.
