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.

+
+Copyright FAQ
+=============
+
+1. I don't understand the resale restriction... What gives?
+
+Bitstream is giving away these fonts, but wishes to ensure its
+competitors can't just drop the fonts as is into a font sale system
+and sell them as is. It seems fair that if Bitstream can't make money
+from the Bitstream Vera fonts, their competitors should not be able to
+do so either. You can sell the fonts as part of any software package,
+however.
+
+2. I want to package these fonts separately for distribution and
+sale as part of a larger software package or system. Can I do so?
+
+Yes. A RPM or Debian package is a "larger software package" to begin
+with, and you aren't selling them independently by themselves.
+See 1. above.
+
+3. Are derivative works allowed?
+Yes!
+
+4. Can I change or add to the font(s)?
+Yes, but you must change the name(s) of the font(s).
+
+5. Under what terms are derivative works allowed?
+
+You must change the name(s) of the fonts. This is to ensure the
+quality of the fonts, both to protect Bitstream and Gnome. We want to
+ensure that if an application has opened a font specifically of these
+names, it gets what it expects (though of course, using fontconfig,
+substitutions could still could have occurred during font
+opening). You must include the Bitstream copyright. Additional
+copyrights can be added, as per copyright law. Happy Font Hacking!
+
+6. If I have improvements for Bitstream Vera, is it possible they might get
+adopted in future versions?
+
+Yes. The contract between the Gnome Foundation and Bitstream has
+provisions for working with Bitstream to ensure quality additions to
+the Bitstream Vera font family. Please contact us if you have such
+additions. Note, that in general, we will want such additions for the
+entire family, not just a single font, and that you'll have to keep
+both Gnome and Jim Lyles, Vera's designer, happy! To make sense to add
+glyphs to the font, they must be stylistically in keeping with Vera's
+design. Vera cannot become a "ransom note" font. Jim Lyles will be
+providing a document describing the design elements used in Vera, as a
+guide and aid for people interested in contributing to Vera.
+
+7. I want to sell a software package that uses these fonts: Can I do so?
+
+Sure. Bundle the fonts with your software and sell your software
+with the fonts. That is the intent of the copyright.
+
+8. If applications have built the names "Bitstream Vera" into them,
+can I override this somehow to use fonts of my choosing?
+
+This depends on exact details of the software. Most open source
+systems and software (e.g., Gnome, KDE, etc.) are now converting to
+use fontconfig (see www.fontconfig.org) to handle font configuration,
+selection and substitution; it has provisions for overriding font
+names and subsituting alternatives. An example is provided by the
+supplied local.conf file, which chooses the family Bitstream Vera for
+"sans", "serif" and "monospace". Other software (e.g., the XFree86
+core server) has other mechanisms for font substitution.

+
+Majority of Multi-Line text editing is in

+fonts to replace the existing set as we
+need some additional font metrics that we
+use in the Text Editing rendering
+pipeline.
+
+You can see the font licenses in the
+editor/fonts folder under each font.
+
+Still have some cleanup to do to add the
