There was a test in Strings.java that assumed the default character
encoding was UTF-8, which is an invalid assumption on some platforms
(e.g. Windows). This modifies the test to specify the encoding
explicitly.
Previously, I used a shell script to extract modification date ranges
from the Git history, but that was complicated and unreliable, so now
every file just gets the same year range in its copyright header. If
someone needs to know when a specific file was modified and by whom,
they can look at the Git history themselves; no need to include it
redundantly in the header.
