The copyright statements printed by the various executables have not
been touched since r3893 / 68d0f70e3c180253b637996f985dd9d248bd910a.
So, judging by -version output, a user could get the impression that
QEMU was last modified in 2008. We should therefore update it to the
current year.

However just changing the year seems wrong since Fabrice didn't
contribute in recent years. Therefore extend the copyright statement to
cover "Fabrice Bellard and contributors" so that it can be updated
to the current year.

libvirt doesn't loook at anything after the version numbers, so changing
the copyright part should be just fine from our POV.
