Pull request overview

Description of the purpose of this PR

This PR updates the license year to "present" to reduce the impact of the arrival of a new year on developers. I've also returned the update script to the less easy-to-use form as it hopefully won't need any further use going forward. The checking script is still using the original approach to producing the various versions of the license (starting with the original and then making the changes needed to get the "current" and "previous" versions of the text. Those could easily be transitioned to static text now. I haven't done that because the Python version line breaking is happening differently due to the addition 3 characters in "present". I don't believe that will be a problem but will need to check for both Python and C++ in an IDE (or maybe just via the formatting?) before unflipping the draft bit.

@mitchute It looks like a dueling format situation in the Python files, but other than that, it should be ready to go.
