As of #7892, the PowerShell repository no longer uses Git submodules.
This is fantastic from a workflow standpoint, and so all the notes about

initializing and updating submodules) can be safely removed.
Based on standard practices, we need to have a copyright and license notice at the top of each source file. Removed existing copyrights and updated/added copyright notices for .h, .cpp, .cs, .ps1, and .psm1 files.
