Tyler Veness 3cd1253977 artf2612: Update license in source files.
Years update, references to WIND_BASE were removed, and WPILib license was
moved to the root directory of the project.

If there was already a comment block, a year range through 2016 was created
using the first year in the comment. If there was no comment block, a block
with just the year 2016 was added.

Comments were not added to files from external sources (NI, CTRE).

/**
* \brief Plugin for controlling a joint with a pneumatic piston.
*
* This plugin subscribes to a topic to get a signal. It accepts three
* values:
*
* - 1: Apply the forward force to the joint.
* - 0: Maintain last applied force
* - -1: Apply the reverse force to the joint.
*
* Every physics update the joint's torque is set to reflect the
* signal.
*
* To add a pneumatic piston to your robot, add the following XML to
* your robot model:
*
* <plugin name="my_piston" filename="libgz_pneumatic_piston.so">
* <joint>Joint Name</joint>
* <topic>~/my/topic</topic>
* <direction>{forward, reversed}</direction>
* <forward-force>Number</forward-force>
* <reverse-force>Number</reverse-force>
* </plugin>
*
* - `joint`: Name of the joint this Dc motor is attached to.
* - `topic`: Optional. Message type should be gazebo.msgs.Float64.
* - `direction`: Optional. Defaults to forward. Reversed if the
* piston pushes in the opposite direction of the joint
* axis.
* - `forward-force`: Force to apply in the forward direction.
* - `reverse-force`: Force to apply in the reverse direction.
*
* \todo Signal should probably be made a tri-state message.
