Minor documentation and script cleanups (#6868) 
* Remove mention of no longer used IRC network

Channels exist on matrix, and on libera.chat now.

* Correctly match only files with .png extension

The current search would match files such as 'createpng'.

* Fix comparison in script

The result was always false, due to comparing a literal string instead of a variable.

* Use correct license files from upstream

Correct license files obtained from:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1.txt
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-3.0.txt

* Refresh several shell scripts

This fixes several shellcheck warnings, as well as makes the code more
robust and have consistent codestyle between all the files.

* Trim excess whitespace

Build and Install KeePassXC
=================
This document will guide you through the steps to build and install KeePassXC from source.
For more information, see also the [_Building KeePassXC_](https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/wiki/Building-KeePassXC) page on the wiki.
The [QuickStart Guide](https://keepassxc.org/docs/KeePassXC_GettingStarted.html) gets you started using KeePassXC on your Windows, macOS, or Linux computer using pre-compiled binaries from the [downloads page](https://keepassxc.org/download).
Build Dependencies
==================
The following tools must exist within your PATH:
* make
* cmake (>= 3.3.0)
* g++ (>= 4.7) or clang++ (>= 6.0)
* asciidoctor
The following libraries are required:
* Qt 5 (>= 5.9.5): qtbase5, qtbase5-private, libqt5svg5, qttools5, qt5-image-formats-plugins
* botan (>= 2.12)
* zlib
* minizip
* readline (for completion in cli)
* libqt5x11extras5, libxi, and libxtst (for auto-type on X11)
* qrencode
Prepare the Building Environment
================================
* [Building Environment on Linux](https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/wiki/Set-up-Build-Environment-on-Linux)
* [Building Environment on Windows](https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/wiki/Set-up-Build-Environment-on-Windows)
* [Building Environment on MacOS](https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/wiki/Set-up-Build-Environment-on-macOS)
Build Steps
===========
We recommend using the release tool to perform builds, please read up-to-date instructions [on our wiki](https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/wiki/Building-KeePassXC#building-using-the-release-tool).
To compile from source, open a **Terminal (on Linux/MacOS)** or a **MSYS2-MinGW shell (on Windows)**<br/>
**Note:** on Windows you can also use MSVC to build natively, we recommend Visual Studio 2019
First, download the KeePassXC [source tarball](https://keepassxc.org/download#source)
or check out the latest version from our [Git repository](https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc).
To clone the project from Git, `cd` to a suitable location and run
```bash
git clone https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc.git
```
This will clone the entire contents of the repository and check out the current `develop` branch.
To update the project from within the project's folder, you can run the following command:
```bash
git pull
```
For a stable build, it is recommended to checkout the master branch.
```bash
git checkout master
```
NOTE: See the [Windows Build Instructions](https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/wiki/Building-KeePassXC#windows) for building with MSVC.
Navigate to the directory where you have downloaded KeePassXC and type these commands:
```
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DWITH_XC_ALL=ON ..
make
```
NOTE: If you are using MSYS2, you may have to add ```-G "MSYS Makefiles"``` to the beginning of the cmake command.
These steps place the compiled KeePassXC binary inside the `./build/src/` directory.
(Note the cmake notes/options below.)
**Cmake Notes:**
* Common cmake parameters
```
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
-DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=<RelWithDebInfo/Debug/Release>
-DWITH_GUI_TESTS=ON
```
* cmake accepts the following options:
```
-DWITH_XC_AUTOTYPE=[ON|OFF] Enable/Disable Auto-Type (default: ON)
-DWITH_XC_YUBIKEY=[ON|OFF] Enable/Disable YubiKey HMAC-SHA1 authentication support (default: OFF)
-DWITH_XC_BROWSER=[ON|OFF] Enable/Disable KeePassXC-Browser extension support (default: OFF)
-DWITH_XC_NETWORKING=[ON|OFF] Enable/Disable Networking support (e.g., favicon downloading) (default: OFF)

-DWITH_XC_ALL=[ON|OFF] Enable/Disable compiling all plugins above (default: OFF)
-DWITH_XC_UPDATECHECK=[ON|OFF] Enable/Disable automatic updating checking (requires WITH_XC_NETWORKING) (default: ON)
-DWITH_TESTS=[ON|OFF] Enable/Disable building of unit tests (default: ON)
-DWITH_GUI_TESTS=[ON|OFF] Enable/Disable building of GUI tests (default: OFF)
-DWITH_DEV_BUILD=[ON|OFF] Enable/Disable deprecated method warnings (default: OFF)
-DWITH_ASAN=[ON|OFF] Enable/Disable address sanitizer checks (Linux / macOS only) (default: OFF)
-DWITH_COVERAGE=[ON|OFF] Enable/Disable coverage tests (GCC only) (default: OFF)
-DWITH_APP_BUNDLE=[ON|OFF] Enable Application Bundle for macOS (default: ON)
-DKEEPASSXC_BUILD_TYPE=[Snapshot|PreRelease|Release] Set the build type to show/hide stability warnings (default: "Snapshot")
-DKEEPASSXC_DIST_TYPE=[Snap|AppImage|Other] Specify the distribution method (default: "Other")
-DOVERRIDE_VERSION=[X.X.X] Specify a version number when building. Used with snapshot builds (default: "")
-DGIT_HEAD_OVERRIDE=[XXXXXXX] Specify the 7 digit git commit ref for this build. Used with distribution builds (default: "")
```
* If you are on MacOS you must add this parameter to **Cmake**, with the Qt version you have installed<br/> `-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/qt5/5.6.2/lib/cmake/`
:exclamation: When building with ASan support on macOS, you need to use `export ASAN_OPTIONS=detect_leaks=0` before running the tests (no LSan support in macOS).
Installation
============
After you have successfully built KeePassXC, install the binary by executing the following:
```bash
sudo make install
```
You can specify the destination dir with
```
DESTDIR=X
```
Packaging
=========
You can create a package to redistribute KeePassXC (zip, deb, rpm, dmg, etc..). Refer to [keepassxc-packaging](https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc-packaging)
Testing
=======
You can perform tests on the built executables with:
```
make test ARGS+="--output-on-failure"
```
If you are not currently running on an X Server or Wayland, run the tests as follows:
```
make test ARGS+="-E test\(cli\|gui\) --output-on-failure"
xvfb-run -e errors -a --server-args="-screen 0 1024x768x24" make test ARGS+="-R test\(cli\|gui\) --output-on-failure"
```
Common parameters:
```
CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE=1
ARGS+=-jX
ARGS+="-E testgui"
```
