The order of collections in the light linking collection is important
as it is used for tie-breaking when the same object is reachable from
multiple linked collections with different light linking state.
This commit utilizes the generic tree view reordering operations to
allow insertion of elements to a specific location and to re-order
existing objects and collections in the light linking collection.
It is possible to re-order both collections and objects, even tough
re-ordering objects does not really make a difference for the light
linking behavior. It is not possible to place an object before
collections.

Listing the "Blender Foundation" as copyright holder implied the Blender
Foundation holds copyright to files which may include work from many
developers.
While keeping copyright on headers makes sense for isolated libraries,
Blender's own code may be refactored or moved between files in a way
that makes the per file copyright holders less meaningful.
Copyright references to the "Blender Foundation" have been replaced with
"Blender Authors", with the exception of `./extern/` since these this
contains libraries which are more isolated, any changed to license
headers there can be handled on a case-by-case basis.
Some directories in `./intern/` have also been excluded:
- `./intern/cycles/` it's own `AUTHORS` file is planned.
- `./intern/opensubdiv/`.
An "AUTHORS" file has been added, using the chromium projects authors
file as a template.
Design task: #110784
Ref !110783.
A lot of files were missing copyright field in the header and
the Blender Foundation contributed to them in a sense of bug
fixing and general maintenance.
This change makes it explicit that those files are at least
partially copyrighted by the Blender Foundation.
Note that this does not make it so the Blender Foundation is
the only holder of the copyright in those files, and developers
who do not have a signed contract with the foundation still
hold the copyright as well.
Another aspect of this change is using SPDX format for the
header. We already used it for the license specification,
and now we state it for the copyright as well, following the
FAQ:

The runtime backup/restore logic was slightly wrong: it is possible that
an object requires light linking runtime but does not need light linking
itself. This is typical configuration for the receivers/blockers.
Modified the logic so that the evaluated object light linking is allocated
if there was a runtime field needed.
This required to make it so light linking evaluation takes care of feeing
the light_linking if it is empty. The downside of this approach is a
redundant allocation from the object backup when removing light linking
collection from emitter. But this is not a typical evaluation flow, and
the more typical flows are cheap with this approach.
