Remove completely outdated AUTHORS file 

Considering that we use version control, maintaining an AUTHORS file
doesn't make much sense, and indeed it was barely touched since the time
mplayer2 forked from MPlayer. None of the contributors to mplayer2 or
mpv are listed in this file (even uau's work is not appropriately
reflected, despite having an entry in this file).

I'm removing this file because it's obviously pointless to keep around,
and moreover it's misleading.

In theory removing this file might be questionable: the git log reaches
back into CVS and SVN times, which don't have separate committer and
author fields for each comment. The commit messages could be incomplete
and not mention the original author, while the AUTHORS file somehow
could. I doubt this is a real concern, since you can always reconstruct
the original AUTHORS file from git.

Another concern is that this could be interpreted as disrespectful to
the people mentioned in this file; but it isn't meant to be
disrespectful.

Also point out a slight irregularity in the Copyright file.
