1. docs: remove (dynamic) years from copyright …

   Setting copyright programatically to a range up to datetime.today() is
   legally dubious. It effectively signals that the copyright
   changes/extends whenever a downstream (perhaps even not holding no
   copyright of their own) builds the documentation, rather than when the
   code was authored. I do not believe this to be the case in any
   jurisdiction.
   
   Rather than replace it with a static year (2023 currently) and then keep
   updating it on a yearly basis, remove the years altogether, as they
   serve little purpose: the dates are readily available through git,
   changelogs, PyPI etc. This follows what other projects have done or are
   in the process of doing as well; for example, see:
     https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2023/01/08/copyright-without-years/
     https://hynek.me/til/copyright-years/
   
   As a side-effect and primary motivation for this commit, this resolves a
   rather small build reproducibility (FTBR) issue, where builds in
   different years would yield different outputs.
