Bartosz Golaszewski dfb707c255 licensing: make the project REUSE-compliant
In order to make the licensing situation of libgpiod clear and enable
easy reusing of the code, let's make all the files in the repository
compliant with the REUSE v3.0 specification.

In order to achieve that:
  - put all used licenses into a separate LICENSES/ directory
  - add SPDX license identifiers to all files that were missing them with
    regular text files being licensed under CC-BY-SA-4.0, while files
    containing code and configuration are licensed under GPL-2.0-or-later
  - replace custom copyright texts with SPDX-FileCopyrightText
  - update the gpio.h kernel uAPI header with the upstream version where
    the SDPX license identifier was fixed to use 'GPL-2.0-only' variant
    instead of the deprecated 'GPL-2.0'

This exception is used together with one of the above SPDX-Licenses
to mark user space API (uapi) header files so they can be included
into non GPL compliant user space application code.
To use this exception add it with the keyword WITH to one of the

License-Text:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
Also note that the GPL below is copyrighted by the Free Software
Foundation, but the instance of code that it refers to (the Linux
kernel) is copyrighted by me and others who actually wrote it.
Also note that the only valid version of the GPL as far as the kernel
is concerned is _this_ particular version of the license (ie v2, not
v2.2 or v3.x or whatever), unless explicitly otherwise stated.
