Switch to single intervals for FSF notices,
and consistently put them first.
Update copyright notices for 2024.
* cfg.mk (update-copyright-env): Use UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_FORCE=1,
UPDATE_COPYRIGHT_USE_INTERVALS=2.
* patch.man: Always use \(co, so that update-copyright
updates these dates.
* src/version.c: Correct Larry Wall copyright years.
Since the code is identical when just checking if a utility is present on
the system or not, we can factorize it.

* tests/test-lib.sh: Flag tests with missing pre-requirements as
SKIPped instead of PASSed. Do not use GNU diff extensions, but
still require a diff that understands "-u".
* tests: Do not unnecessarily require GNU diff in a lot of tests.
Make the sed utility optional.
