Ondřej Surý 2bf7921c7e Update the copyright information in all files in the repository
This commit converts the license handling to adhere to the REUSE
specification.  It specifically:

1. Adds used licnses to LICENSES/ directory

2. Add "isc" template for adding the copyright boilerplate

3. Changes all source files to include copyright and SPDX license
   header, this includes all the C sources, documentation, zone files,
   configuration files.  There are notes in the doc/dev/copyrights file
   on how to add correct headers to the new files.

4. Handle the rest that can't be modified via .reuse/dep5 file.  The
   binary (or otherwise unmodifiable) files could have license places
   next to them in <foo>.license file, but this would lead to cluttered
   repository and most of the files handled in the .reuse/dep5 file are
   system test files.

Here are some hints on how to use autoconf correctly when doing
BIND 9 development.
Never edit the configure script directly. Edit configure.in, commit
the changes, run "autoconf", and commit the new configure. Doing two
separate commits ensures that the version numbers embedded in the
configure script are correct.
Don't edit config.h.in directly. Instead, run "autoheader". If it
complains about missing definitions, add them to acconfig.h, rerun
autoheader, commit acconfig.h if edited, and commit the generated
config.h.in.
