Fixes FS#58452 Also consistently add a blank line after the copyright and before the license terms.

Do the email address lines need to be translated? Anyway, currently updating the pacman copyright year dirties the translations. It could be interpolated but then the copyright year updating code needs to be as well.

Probably not... How about changing this:

printf -- "$(gettext "Copyright (c) 2006-2018 Pacman Development Team .\n")"

to:

printf -- "$(gettext "Copyright (c)") 2006-2018 Pacman Development Team .\n"

so just the "Copyright (c)" is translated?

From a quick grep, I'm seeing people translate the "Pacman Development Team" part and not the "Copyright". If we're going to translate just part of a copyright line, then (going by what our translators currently do) we should probably just explicitly translate "Pacman Development Team"... -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User
