Subject: devel/release-checks.sh: use grep to find copyright year.

devel/release-checks.sh: use grep to find copyright year.

This is quite fragile, but it works for now, unlike the python
version.

In general it seems conf.py is not intended to be evaluated outside of
sphinx, as it assumes certain global names (in particular "tags") are
defined.
