license: manifest and license path

This is a fairly large commit, so I want to step through some of
what this accomplishes:

1. Additional licenses

I've added/modified/corrected some of the common licenses
within OE-core in prep. for a major license audit. Most of these
are in SPDX format. A few, there is no OSI equivalent.

2. Additional SPDX mappings

I've added some additional SPDX mappings to account for removing
some duplicate licenses. (ie GPL-2 and GPL-2.0 were the same)
I've also remapped a few things to more accurately reflect what
they should be pointing at.

Note: Artistic/LGPL/GPL/MPL. Quite a few LICENSE fields list these
licenses. They make no sense and need auditing. In a future commit
I have some fixes to particularly egregious LICENSE fields, but
a full audit should be done. I've listed to obvious candidates at:

https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/License_Audit

3. License manifest

We now have a license manifest generation that occurs in rootfs for
everything BUT .deb. This requires the changes Paul Eggleton has
done to rootfs_* particularly the list_installed_packages function.
The manifest is accurate during a parallel bitbake now (Weee!) and
is prime for my planned SPDX format manifest during the next period.

4. License manifest on image.

We also want the ability to add licenses to the image. This
functionality is also in base-files and will be stripped out in my
next commit. The manifest is not added by default and is a two var
setting in license.conf:

If I want *just* the manifest on the image (small) then I set:
COPY_LIC_MANIFEST = "1"

This copies the manifest to:

/usr/share/common-licenses/license.manifest

If I want the actual PKG license text on the image (much larger)
I need to set both both COPY_LIC_MANIFEST and COPY_LIC_DIRS in
license.conf. This will create:

/usr/share/common-licenses/(package name)/(licenses in LIC_SRC_URI)

Word of warning. This can be larger than wanted depending on image
and is probably ripe for linking licenses, but I ran out of time this
week to get that done.

5. Custom License search path.

We now have the ability to add licenses to the build without touching
common-licenses. This is set via license.conf:

LICENSE_PATH += "/path/to/custom/licenses"

You want to make sure the license is unique. license.bbclass picks the
first license it finds.

-customary fashion, plus the right to make reasonable modifications.
-
-Definitions:
-
-"Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the
-Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files created through
-textual modification.
-"Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been
-modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes of the Copyright
-Holder.
-"Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or copyrights
-for the package.
-"You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing this
-Package.
-"Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the basis of
-media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, and so on. (You will
-not be required to justify it to the Copyright Holder, but only to the
-computing community at large as a market that must bear the fee.)
-"Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item itself,
-though there may be fees involved in handling the item. It also means that
-recipients of the item may redistribute it under the same conditions they
-received it.
-1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the
-Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you
-duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.
-
-2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications derived
-from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package modified in such
-a way shall still be considered the Standard Version.
-
-3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided that
-you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and when you
-changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
-
-a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them Freely
-Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or an equivalent
-medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive site such as
-ftp.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include your modifications
-in the Standard Version of the Package.
-
-b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.
-
-c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict with
-standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide a separate
-manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly documents how it
-differs from the Standard Version.
-
-d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
-
-4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or executable
-form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
-
-a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files, together
-with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where to get the
-Standard Version.
-
-b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of the Package
-with your modifications.
-
-c) accompany any non-standard executables with their corresponding Standard
-Version executables, giving the non-standard executables non-standard names,
-and clearly documenting the differences in manual pages (or equivalent),
-together with instructions on where to get the Standard Version.
-
-d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
-
-5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this
-Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this Package. You may
-not charge a fee for this Package itself. However, you may distribute this
-Package in aggregate with other (possibly commercial) programs as part of a
-larger (possibly commercial) software distribution provided that you do not
-advertise this Package as a product of your own.
-
-6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as output
-from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall under the copyright

-
-7. C or perl subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package shall not
-be considered part of this Package.
