Adopts new copyright and markdown toc checks. The new toc check generates the toc header, so that's why all the md files changed (this had felt better to me for the long-term, more auto-generated content)

Whitespace
Table of contents
Overview
The exact lexical form of Carbon whitespace has not yet been settled. However, Carbon will follow lexical conventions for whitespace based on Unicode Annex #31. TODO: Update this once the precise rules are decided; see the Unicode source files proposal.
Unicode Annex #31 suggests selecting whitespace characters based on the
characters with Unicode property Pattern_White_Space, which is currently these
11 characters:
- U+0009 CHARACTER TABULATION (horizontal tab)
- U+000A LINE FEED (traditional newline)
- U+000B LINE TABULATION (vertical tab)
- U+000C FORM FEED (page break)
- U+000D CARRIAGE RETURN
- U+0020 SPACE
- U+0085 NEXT LINE (Unicode newline)
- U+200E LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK
- U+200F RIGHT-TO-LEFT MARK
- U+2028 LINE SEPARATOR
- U+2029 PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR
The quantity and kind of whitespace separating tokens is ignored except where otherwise specified.
