fix initstate to make the state buffer usable in setstate
setstate could use the results of previous initstate or setstate calls (they return the old state buffer), but the documentation requires that an initialized state buffer should be possible to use in setstate immediately, which means that initstate should save the generator parameters in it. I also removed the copyright notice since it is present in the copyright file.
