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.

-THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS CREATIVE
-COMMONS PUBLIC LICENSE ("CCPL" OR "LICENSE"). THE WORK IS

-CONTAINED HERE IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH TERMS AND
-CONDITIONS.
-
-1. Definitions
-
-"Collective Work" means a work, such as a periodical issue, anthology
-or encyclopedia, in which the Work in its entirety in unmodified form, along
-with a number of other contributions, constituting separate and independent
-works in themselves, are assembled into a collective whole. A work that
-constitutes a Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work (as
-defined below) for the purposes of this License.
-"Derivative Work" means a work based upon the Work or upon the Work
-and other pre-existing works, such as a translation, musical arrangement,
-dramatization, fictionalization, motion picture version, sound recording, art
-reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any other form in which the Work may
-be recast, transformed, or adapted, except that a work that constitutes a
-Collective Work will not be considered a Derivative Work for the purpose of
-this License.
-"Licensor" means the individual or entity that offers the Work under
-the terms of this License.
-"Original Author" means the individual or entity who created the
-Work.
-"Work" means the copyrightable work of authorship offered under the
-terms of this License.
-"You" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this
-License who has not previously violated the terms of this License with respect
-to the Work, or who has received express permission from the Licensor to
-exercise rights under this License despite a previous violation.
-2. Fair Use Rights. Nothing in this license is intended to reduce, limit, or
-restrict any rights arising from fair use, first sale or other limitations on
-the exclusive rights of the copyright owner under copyright law or other
-applicable laws.
-
-3. License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, Licensor
-hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual (for the
-duration of the applicable copyright) license to exercise the rights in the
-Work as stated below:
-
-to reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more Collective
-Works, and to reproduce the Work as incorporated in the Collective Works;
-to create and reproduce Derivative Works;
-to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly, perform publicly,
-and perform publicly by means of a digital audio transmission the Work
-including as incorporated in Collective Works;
-to distribute copies or phonorecords of, display publicly, perform publicly,
-and perform publicly by means of a digital audio transmission Derivative Works;
-The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now known or
-hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to make such
-modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights in other
-media and formats. All rights not expressly granted by Licensor are hereby
-reserved.
-
-4. Restrictions. The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly made
-subject to and limited by the following restrictions:
-
-You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally
-perform the Work only under the terms of this License, and You must include a
-copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for, this License with every copy
-or phonorecord of the Work You distribute, publicly display, publicly perform,
-or publicly digitally perform. You may not offer or impose any terms on the
-Work that alter or restrict the terms of this License or the recipients'
-exercise of the rights granted hereunder. You may not sublicense the Work. You
-must keep intact all notices that refer to this License and to the disclaimer
-of warranties. You may not distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or
-publicly digitally perform the Work with any technological measures that
-control access or use of the Work in a manner inconsistent with the terms of
-this License Agreement. The above applies to the Work as incorporated in a
-Collective Work, but this does not require the Collective Work apart from the
-Work itself to be made subject to the terms of this License. If You create a
-Collective Work, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent
-practicable, remove from the Collective Work any reference to such Licensor or
-the Original Author, as requested. If You create a Derivative Work, upon notice
-from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the
-Derivative Work any reference to such Licensor or the Original Author, as
-requested.
-If you distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally
-perform the Work or any Derivative Works or Collective Works, You must keep
-intact all copyright notices for the Work and give the Original Author credit
-reasonable to the medium or means You are utilizing by conveying the name (or
-pseudonym if applicable) of the Original Author if supplied; the title of the
-Work if supplied; in the case of a Derivative Work, a credit identifying the
-use of the Work in the Derivative Work (e.g., "French translation of the
-Work by Original Author," or "Screenplay based on original Work by
-Original Author"). Such credit may be implemented in any reasonable
-manner; provided, however, that in the case of a Derivative Work or Collective
-Work, at a minimum such credit will appear where any other comparable
-authorship credit appears and in a manner at least as prominent as such other
-comparable authorship credit.

-under different license terms or to stop distributing the Work at any time;
