Remove $COREBASE/LICENSE from LIC_FILES_CHKSUM

Several recipes reference the LICENSE file in their LIC_FILES_CHKSUM
variable as ${COREBASE}/LICENSE. This forces distribution providers to
keep this file verbatim or to overload the affected recipes. The section
"Moving to the Yocto Project 1.6 Release" in the Yocto manual suggests
removing the LICENSE file where possible.

Remove LICENSE in cases where COPYING.MIT is also given and replace
LICENSE with COPYING.MIT if the former was the only entry. All modified
recipes specify LICENSE = "MIT" and none of the in-tree files specify a
different license either.

As the packages do not change (the license files are not contained in
them), do not increase PR.
