Changes the wording of copyright notices to read "The <project> Contributors" in LICENSE files, and adds a `rustfmt` header check template which doesn't require a fixed copyright holder. Reasoning: in the jurisdictions we're operating in, copyright is not transferrable. While contributions by employees fall under the copyright of the employer, this is not true for external contributions: if the work is copyrightable (ie. "substantial"), they can add their own name to the license header of the file(s) they created / modified. Signed-off-by: Kim Altintop <kim@monadic.xyz>
