bug#7179: 23.2; copyright-update on spanning copyright-limit

[Kevin Ryde]

If you're unlucky enough to have a copyright notice spanning the
`copyright-limit' position in the buffer then M-x copyright-update makes
a bit of a mess inserting the current year at the wrong place.  For
example,

    (progn
      (require 'copyright)
      (switch-to-buffer "foo")
      (erase-buffer)
      (insert (make-string (- copyright-limit 14) ?x) "\n"
              "\nCopyright 2006, 2007, 2008 Foo Bar\n\n")
      (copyright-update))

gives

    Copyright 20, 1006, 2007, 2008 Foo Bar

where I expected

    Copyright 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010 Foo Bar

I suppose the limit in the re-search-forward means only "Copyright 20"
is matched and the current year ", 10" inserted there.  Perhaps a fresh
`looking-at' or something would ensure the limit doesn't truncate the
optional-ness in the years part of the pattern.

I struck this in a short html file where the copyright line was actually
near the end, yet close enough to the start to be seen by
copyright-update with the copyright-at-end-flag false.  I suppose a
copyright-names-regexp might force a spanning line not to match, but I
had that empty.
