    Table: variable initialized to avoid compiler warning
    
    Until now, the newly added 'table_catrows_findhdu' function to Gnuastro's
    Table program would print an "variable may be used un-initialized" warning
    during compilation on some compilers (I noticed while test-packaging for
    Debian).
    
    With this commit, the respective variable is now initialized to NULL.
    
    Also, I added an item in the packaging checklist to not forget to update
    the copyright years.
