checksrc: repair the copyrightyear check

- Consider a modified file to be committed this year.

- Make the travis CHECKSRC also do COPYRIGHTYEAR scan in examples and
  includes

- Ignore 0 parents when getting latest commit date of file.

since in the CI we're dealing with a truncated repo of last 50 commits,
the file's most recent commit may not be available. when this happens
git log and rev-list show the initial commit (ie first commit not to be
truncated) but that's incorrect so ignore it.
