src/roff/troff/div.cpp: Revise copyright notice.
Ratchet back ending year of FSF copyright notice to 2020, reflecting the
date of the last contribution to this file by anyone but me.
Add copyright notice for myself. I have never executed copyright
assignment paperwork with the FSF, so my "legally significant"[1]
changes to this file can't be under the FSF's copyright.

Commit 4c2cd5e076 independently passes the threshold, as do the others
taken cumulatively. (The GNU Maintainers' Guide does not advise for or
against a cumulative interpretation. Applying rigidly simplistic rules
supporting or opposing such an interpretation each lead to seeming
absurdities. On the one hand, 15 different minor changes, like
incrementing an integer, to a single line of code--or code comment--in
the source file could become "legally significant". On the other hand,
if a person contributes a net _deletion_ of lines overall, perhaps by
eliminating dead code or withdrawn functionality, they could prevent
recognition of their own contribution(s) of any size as "legally
significant" as long as those changes added fewer than <lines deleted> +
15. Counting lines of code may be as poor a metric of copyrightability
as it is of programmer productivity.[2])
[1] "A change of just a few lines (less than 15 or so) is not legally
significant for copyright." Conversely, >= 15 lines would be.
