Updating script to be able to update the EBI Copyright every year. No…

Thomas Maurel requested to merge github/fork/thomasmaurel/annual_copyright_updater into master

…w excluding the .git directory from the file search as this was corrupting the git repos

@dzerbino and @magaliruffier updated the script last year so that we now display a copyright like the following in our scripts:

Copyright [1999-2015] Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute and the EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute

Copyright [2016] EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute

I've updated the script so that we can update the EMBL-EBI part every year (similar to what the script was doing in the past). For this year, I believe we would want something like:

Copyright [2016-2017] EMBL-European Bioinformatics Institute

I've also excluded the ".git" directory from the grep as this was corrupting the Git repos :-/
