Subject: [PATCH] maint: add syntax check to ensure larger man/*.x files have a
 Copyright

* cfg.mk (sc_man_check_x_copyright): Add rule to ensure that non-trivial
.x files in the 'man/' subdirectory, i.e., files exceeding a line count
of 20 or a byte count of 1000, contain a proper Copyright notice.
